Farrowing Feeding with Wireless Activator

Strategic feeding for lactating sows

Nedap Farrowing Feeding with wireless Activator gives you the control to increase feed intake during lactation which drives sow and pig performance for maximum return on investment.

Stimulate lactating sow feed intake

Nedap Farrowing Feeding automatically delivers small snack-sized portions of fresh feed on a preset schedule. Meanwhile, the optional wireless Activator add-on enables sows to “ask” for additional snack-sized feed portions at any time by moving a trigger in the feeder with their snout. Sows get 24/7 precision feeding. You get peace of mind knowing your sows’ intake is maximized.

Snack-sized fresh feed portions delivered more often than ad-lib feeding stimulate appetite and increase overall feed intake.
When Nedap Activator doesn’t detect feeder activity for a predetermined time period, it sends an automated alert, so you know which sows need attention without manual feeder checks.

The best part? Nedap Farrowing Feeding with wireless Activator gives producers control to increase feed intake during lactation, which drives sow and pig performance in any type of sow housing.

See how it works

Nedap Farrowing Feeding with wireless Activator brings data to your fingertips. Monitor individual sow and overall herd feed intake with real-time data collection and alerts. Use actionable insights to meet lactating sows’ unique nutritional needs with strategic feed plans to increase milk production and pig performance.

The benefits? Heavier piglet average weaning weight, higher farrowing rates and more pigs born alive in subsequent parities.

Minimize labor

Nedap Activator’s demand-driven feeding also reduces labor and feed costs. Employees don’t have to manually check feeders and remove feed. They know which sows need attention, and they know faster than with ad-lib feeding. Automated and demand-driven feeding can also cut feed wastage, which accounts for up to 70% of pork production costs.
