Each individual sow can receive the exact feed they need, whether that be in the waiting pen, breeding centre or farrowing pen. The feed is transported in dry form and can then be dispensed at the trough either in dry or liquid form. This allows the benefits of pneumatic feeding to be combined with those of liquid feeding. Optionally, one outlet pipe can be provided for every 4 sows kept in the crate. Group housing at the cross trough can also be implemented.

The feed can individually adjusted to the needs of each individual sow according to their age, weight and litter size. The TEWE mixing and dosing technology prepares portions of all sizes with no downtimes and mixes in minute quantities of additives as required. Airfeed is controlled via the central feeding computer which monitors all functions and processes.

In many pens, Airfeed sow feeding has already achieved astonishing results when combined with piglet liquid feeding, and earned plus points in terms of weight gain and health status. For more information see ‘Piglet feeding’

In conclusion

Thanks to the many benefits outlined below, the Airfeed technology is an optimal solution for sow feeding which not only increases the efficiency of the feeding processes, but also improves the wellbeing and health of the animals.
