The Nedap Velos Sow Feeding Stations are based on individual feed supply. And then in the most effi cient and effective way. Management of the feed supply has other benefi ts: feed represents as much as 35% of the allocated costs at a sow breeder’s. Moreover, feed is the instrument for controlling the sow’s condition. Making the feed process manageable has a direct and positive effect on company results.

Nedap Velos guarantees that each pig is supplied the exact amount of the right feed at the right time. This chart clearly shows the necessity of individual feed supply. You can see the significant influence it has on condition and costs.

Efficient feeding saves money. But, additionally, more effective feeding increases output. Individual feeding prevents overfeeding or underfeeding of the animal. And that relates directly to the condition of each pig. This chart shows the relationship between the condition of a sow and farrowing. The more sows in good condition, the greater the production.
