FEED & GRAIN STORAGE in pig farming
Improve Biosecurity

Feed and grain storage is of utmost importance in pig farming as it plays a crucial role in ensuring the health and productivity of the pigs. Proper storage of feed and grain is essential to prevent spoilage, contamination, and nutrient loss, which can lead to decreased feed quality and increased risk of disease transmission.

One of the key benefits of proper feed and grain storage is that it helps to maintain the nutritional quality of the feed. Pigs require a balanced diet that contains the right amount of protein, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals to support their growth and overall health. However, if the feed is stored improperly, it can lose its nutritional value due to oxidation, moisture, and exposure to pests and rodents. This can lead to deficiencies in essential nutrients, which can cause health problems and reduce productivity.

Another important aspect of feed and grain storage is preventing contamination. Bacteria, fungi, and molds thrive in warm, humid environments, and can quickly grow on improperly stored feed and grain. This can lead to contamination of the feed, which can cause health problems in pigs, and even lead to food safety issues for humans consuming pork products. Therefore, proper storage of feed and grain is essential to prevent the growth of harmful microorganisms.

In addition to preventing nutrient loss and contamination, proper feed and grain storage can also help to reduce feed costs. When feed and grain are stored properly, they are less likely to spoil or be consumed by pests and rodents, which can reduce the amount of feed that needs to be discarded. This can result in significant cost savings for pig farmers, as feed is one of the largest expenses in pig production.

Feed Additives:

Nutrispar - saves on feed

Nutrispar - saves on feed

Nutrispar is combination of several components, such as amino acids, herbal extracts, enzymes and vitamines, which is simply added to the feed. These additives affect the intestine and improve feed conversion. The special combination of vitamins also helps to promote the pig's health.

HP 300 soy protein

HP 300 soy protein

Young piglets have an immature gut that limits their ability to absorb nutrients. That is why Hamlet Protein developed HP 300 an enzymatically treated soy protein. It is being used worldwide in weaning feed for piglets because it is a practical solution backed by science that works. HP300 gives you more benefits, improved feed efficiency, improved weight gain and improved gut health.

Access to fresh milk

Access to fresh milk

To increase the survival rate of a litter, you need to ensure that all piglets have access to fresh milk. By offering the piglets a supplement to the sow’s own milk, you can increase the survival rate

High Protein Feed

High Protein Feed

Fishmeal is one of the most used and most important sources of protein in pig feed – especially for piglets. The fishmeal protein is so important because it is highly digestible and does not provoke diarrhea.

Piglets Survival Rate

Piglets Survival Rate

Good genetics and especially Danish pig genetics increase the number of piglets in a litter. This is good, but not all piglets grow according to the plan and some have lower survival chances.

Feeding Systems:

ColorFeed for better efficiency

ColorFeed for better efficiency

ColorFeed is a special system that ensures the pigs get the right feed at the right time. All you need to do is to remember to switch between the right feed type or mix. The system will deliver it according to your request.

PiggiSoup Liquid Feeding

PiggiSoup Liquid Feeding

By encouraging early feed consumption, you avoid the need to nurse piglets that are not yet eating solid feed. The system is fully automatic and does not require any special technical knowledge to use.

Interval Feeding of Pigs

Interval Feeding of Pigs

The Funkinet Dry Single system guarantees an automatic and seamless feed transition based on the pigs' planned growth. The system offers detailed information on individual feed consumption at different levels, allowing for extensive data analysis. You can customize the type and quantity of feed based on this information.

Milk System for piglets

Milk System for piglets

Baby Care is a milk feeding system for the distribution of fresh milk to the piglets. When the piglets have constant access to milk, it results in a higher weight at weaning.

Feed Distribution

Feed Distribution

The right feeding of sows during farrowing has a great effect on the survival of piglets. The sows feeding needs change in the period before and after farrowing.

Liquid Feeding

Liquid Feeding

The liquid feeding system is fully automatic. It is programmed to provide an accurate and fast distribution of food. You can also make use of alternative ingredients and thereby save costs.

Baby Feeder

Baby Feeder

Baby Feeder is a feeder that can be used by even the smallest pigs from 4 kg. The unique design of the feeder makes it possible to mix feed and water inside the trough, which ensures better hygiene and better hygiene and cleanliness.

Ad libitum Feeder

Ad libitum Feeder

Ad-lib feeder is a feeder for lactating sows, where the sow can choose how much she would like to consume from day 1 to weaning. Ad libitum feeding of lactating sows helps to improve feed intake and the litter weight at weaning.

Special Feeder for piglets

Special Feeder for piglets

It is important to prepare the piglets for weaning, where piglets stop drinking milk and must eat feed. This can be done by understanding the piglets’ needs and their natural behavior.

Increase your Farm Capacity

Space-saving storage is important because you save money, you reduce the time allocated to material handling and you ensure a good flow of your production.

Stirring Silo

Stirring Silo

A stirring silo ensures elimination of hot spots in the grain and uniform mix of grain in the silo. At the same time, it makes it possible to mix variants of grain in the same silo.
