Dositronic G, electronic feeding system for group housing gestation

The Dositronic G for gestation sows housed in gropus allows feeding individually of each animal in a controlled manner according to their needs improving the body condition upon arrival to farrowing and significantly reducing wasted feed.

The sows can enter any free situation In the pen, without competition with the other animals of the group, once inside, a transmitting tag the fixed in the ear is detected by the antenna of the station, then the electronic dispenser feeds the sow with the volume of feed that corresponds to her day of gestation in the curve that has been assigned to that animal, according to its parity and body condition.

The sows eat isolated from the others and the feed is gradually dispensed as they are ingesting, so they eat the exact amount that  corresponds to them avoiding waste of feed. Once the ration of the day is administered, the dispenser stops, and the sows leave the station, living it free for the next sow.

The stations are adaptable to any pen design and group size. It is possible installing one or more stations per pen, with 15 to 20 animals per station. The adaptation of the gilts to the system is intuitive and very fast, since they see their companions eat inside the box, which is very similar to the stall they have been using since insemination until they are moved to the gestation pens. The stations have a bar that prevents the sows from laying inside.
