    • EasySlider Pro Individual feeding in the farrowing pen The EasySlider Pro is a computer-controlled feeding system for sows in farrowing pens. It is mounted underneath the volume dispenser and allows the sow to choose when to eat. The sow only has to nudge a pendulum inside the feed pipe and a serving is dispensed. After a time, she can request her next portion and it will be dispensed. Important Advantages Fewer Feed Losses – individual feeding results in virtually no old feed remaining in the trough Improved Hygiene – the feed in the trough is always fresh! Less Stress for Sows and Piglets – whisper-quiet operation keeps from disturbing other barn inhabitants Increased Livability in Piglets – removing a universal feed time eliminates the excitement and bedlam that occurs among sows at “meal time”, improving piglet safety Health Monitoring – the requested feed quantity per sow per day can be set and checked using BigFarmNet, providing an excellent overview of each sow’s intake and eating behavior Improved Sow Condition – allowing the sow to eat as she is hungry provides better nutrition for a nursing sow, leading to improved body condition Low Maintenance – dispensing unit can be removed and the feed pipe is open at the upper end requiring low maintenance Total Control – the entire system is controlled by BigFarmNet High Return on Investment BDSWING Flexible farrowing system The BDSWING was created with careful consideration for each piece of the farrowing process. Our specially designed crate can be installed in several positions, allowing for easy retrofitting of an existing space. More room for scampering piglets increases livability and comfort. The adjustable crate means you can house both smaller gilts and larger mature sows. Different heating options allow you to create the perfect environment for both piglets and sows, who will comfortably enjoy their time with the BDSWING. In addition, when paired with our EasySlider Pro feeding system, your farrowing sows can decide when they’d like to eat which will improve their overall body condition. Important Advantages Creep Area – A more defined nest area for piglets helps improve their safety and comfort Piglet Saver Bars – Maximize your numbers by ensuring piglet safety as they move about the crate Heating – Hot water or electric heat pads, heat lamps and the BDCOVER can be used together or independently to keep your piglets at an ideal temperature Hydration – Multiple drinker options allow for easy access to fresh water Adjustability – One crate side adjusts in width and the door can be adjusted to lengthen the crate if needed Comfort – Cast iron flooring ensures safe footing for the sow while the plastic flooring provides a warm and comfotable surface for the piglets Stress Free – One crate side swings open wide allowing for a stress free entry and exit for each sow Accessibility – All areas of the crate are easily accessed by workers Improved Hygiene – Because each area of the pen is so easy to access, workers can clean the crates quickly and without hassle Better Visibility – If using the BDCOVER, piglets can be checked quickly by simply flipping the lid on the cover
