The density of diets can vary, so feeding by volume does not always ensure that the pigs receive the right weight of food.

When feeding sows it is important to check periodically that feeders are delivering the weights of feed expected. This is particularly the case after any change of feed supplier.

One scoop of one diet may weigh more that that of a different diet!
