Dynamic Group Housing for Sows

They plan to implement a dynamic group housing system for 250 sows. Each week, after insemination, sows will directly be added to the dynamic group.

These sows stay together during the entire gestation period. With Nedap Velos, the sows can benefit from individual feed supply throughout the gestation.

An additional feed station is placed at the facility to raise gilts. Gilts can get accustomed to the ESF before being included in the production cycle.

Open doors will be from 14:00 to 17:30, 19th of September.
