Smart Sow Feeding · E201
Electronic Sow Feeding Stations (ESF)

- Individual rations in a group house
- Records visits and feed taken
- Works with ear tags and software
Sizes and configuration are customised to the project; details are agreed with you before quotation.
Overview
In group housing, an electronic sow feeding station reads each sow’s ear tag, checks her feeding plan and releases a set amount of feed. Entrance and exit gates protect the sow while she eats. The station records her visits, so staff can see who has not eaten. It works with group pens, electronic ear tags and management software.

Frequently asked questions
How many stations do I need?
It depends on the herd size and the group system. We calculate from your sow numbers.
Can gilts learn to use the station?
Yes, with a training pen or a training period. Staff need to help the first time.
What is electronic sow feeding?
Each sow wears an electronic ear tag. When she enters a feeding station it reads the tag and gives her the ration set for her.
Does it save feed?
Feeding to a plan for each sow can reduce over- and under-feeding. We do not quote savings without data from your own farm.
What else is needed?
Group pens, ear tags and software are normally part of the package. Staff training is also important.
Can I add stations later?
Yes, if the pens and the software are planned for it.
What happens if a station fails?
Good designs let sows pass out of the station and alert staff. Please ask about the fail-safe design of the model.
Are sizes and configurations fixed?
No. Dimensions, materials and configuration are customised to your herd size, climate and local rules, and agreed with you before quotation.
Are the specifications on your product pages final?
They are typical reference values to help you compare. Final specifications are confirmed with you before quotation.
Who installs the equipment?
Our installation teams install and commission the equipment. The scope for each project is agreed in the contract.
What warranty do you give?
Warranty terms depend on the equipment and are agreed per project in the contract.
