Feed & Grain - Danish Pig Academy

PIG FACTS is a concept containing theme films related to the most current topics within modern pig production.
Credibility is the key to the theme films. You get the information directly from the professionals knowing the farmers’ needs and developing the products for them.

PIG FACTS: Feeding & Grain Storage

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.

Get stronger pigs

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.

Increase productivity

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.

Milk Feeding System

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

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. The sows feed is vital for her health and a healthy sow has a higher piglet survival rate.

Increase 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. The issue is whether they get enough feed and whether the feed is good enough.

Understanding pig behavior

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.

Stronger piglets

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 as the extra milk makes it possible for the sow to take care of more piglets.

Liquid feeding

The liquid feeding system from ACO FUNKI 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.

Feed quality optimization

The Intelligent Silo from BM is an efficient data collection tool, which offers accurate data from the crops in storage with an easy-to-use digital platform.

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.

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.

Unique biocide

Common for domestic animal production is that reducing bacteria, viruses, fungi, parasites, and waste products like ammonia is fundamental to increase animal health.

Feed Allocation

Creating value in a pig farm is all about optimizing the feed in every step of the production. The feed for a sow must increase her milk production; for weaners, it is all about digestion and palatability

Biosecurity

The protection of commodities against contamination is essential especially in crops used for feeding livestock. Here we talk about biosecurity, which is preventive measures to reduce the risk of transmission of infectious diseases.
