A growing number of wet feed suppliers now offer advanced systems that integrate sensors to monitor and measure pig appetite.

In traditional housing of slaughter pigs, about 10 pigs per pen are usually kept. An alternative housing system is a scale house where the pigs are kept in large groups (max 450 animals is stated for Domino PigSort).

All three products offer a PC and/or app-based system for planning and performance monitoring in pig production.

Regular use of grazing scanners improves the possibility of having grazing strategies adapted to the needs of the animals, such as growth and milk production.

Together with the other co-founders of xFarm Technologies, Matteo Vanotti developed a platform to help farmers and their employees organize their work in an easy and efficient way.

Information from fertility, feeding, housing environment and milking is collected and can be evaluated through the system to improve production on the farm.

Using NIR spectroscopy, analyses of feed can be done directly on farm and not just in the laboratory. For an advisor, it is important to be able to quickly get an idea of the quality of the feed/grazing to help and improve the feeding of a producer.

The MooCall motion detector is placed on the tail of pregnant female about three to four days before expected calving. When the cow or heifer is about to calve, she moves her tail in a specific way- something that MooCall picks up in the system.
