Intellitek Electronic Sow Feeding System
efficiently & effectively manage farms, top sow condition and more piglets, meet the needs of sows, automatic detection marking and separation of sows, and reliable technology redefining sow management.
Feed is the most critical aspect on a pig farm. It determines the expenditure and income; the better the feed strategy, the better the results. Fancom’s Intellitek Electronic Sow Feeding System is based on sow behavior and best management practices. This is the most advanced electronic sow feeding system available for group sow housing. Automatically feeding individual sows in group housing helps control feed costs and keeps sows in top condition.
The Fancom INTELLITEK System offers flexible layouts for new construction and for existing facilities requiring open pen retrofits. Sows are identified through the electronic transponder attached to her ear. If the sow has not already been fed, the computer opens the double-door entrance of the INTELLITEK feed station to admit her. The double-doors are pneumatically operated and adjustable in closing speed and power. As the sow approaches the feed trough inside the feeding station, the computer again identifies her before dispensing any feed. Using the individual sow’s feed curve, the computer-controlled feeding system provides the right portion of feed for the individual sow’s body condition. After the sow has finished eating, she exits the feeding system. The INTELLITEK System also permits sows to be automatically sorted based on selection data (anticipated farrowing date, day of the week, etc.) chosen by the farmer. Two special training modes permit sows to learn and adapt themselves to the feeding station without stress.
The TOUCHTEK control can manage up to eight INTELLITEK Feeding Stations from a single location, providing easy access to information right from the pen for efficient management.
