Revolutionizing piglet feeding: The benefits of the Transition Feeder
When it comes to raising healthy and well-functioning piglets, feeding plays a crucial role. The Transition Feeder is a groundbreaking solution that optimizes the transition from sow milk to solid feed, ensuring consistent growth and improved health.
What is Transition Feeder?
Transition Feeder is a feeding system that has been on the market for many years and ensures freshly mixed feed at every feeding. Unlike traditional methods, feed and water are only mixed when the pigs activate the feed bar, which reduces waste and ensures optimal nutrient absorption.
The main advantages of the Transition Feeder
1. Fresh and controlled feeding
The Transition Feeder ensures freshly mixed feed at every feeding, which promotes better digestion and feed conversion.
A built-in feed sensor prevents overfilling of the feed bowl, reduces waste and minimizes feed costs.
2. Flexible feeding options
Can be equipped with a heater so that warm porridge or milk can be fed - ideal for piglets.
When feeding with warm water, the feed bars can be deactivated and the machine will automatically mix and dose feed or milk replacer in precise portions.
The system's overflow sensor ensures accurate portion control, making it perfect for piglets under 3 kg.
3. Intelligent feeding patterns for optimal growth
Feeding time can be adjusted between 5 and 60 minutes per hour, so that pigs get small, frequent meals, which promotes digestion and reduces stress.
Automatic beeps before feeding teach pigs to expect meals, which improves feed intake.
The feed concentration is gradually adjusted to the pig's weight and ensures a smooth growth curve without sudden changes.
4. Durable and hygienic design
Made of stainless steel and impact-resistant plastic, making the feeding unit durable, easy to clean and quick to install.
Can be placed in the middle of a path or between two paths, providing flexible setup.
Why farmers love Transition Feeder
- Efficiency: Save feed, time and labor while improving piglet growth.
- Flexibility: Suitable for different feeding strategies, from warm porridge to dry food.
- Capacity: Each unit can feed 40–50 piglets, making it a valuable investment for both small and large farms.
- Ease of use: Easy to clean and maintain, reducing the risk of bacterial growth.
By implementing the Transition Feeder, farmers can ensure a seamless transition to solid feed, resulting in better growth rates, healthier pigs and increased profitability on the farm.
