Liquid piglet feeding
A perfect solution
Not only does choosing the right feeding solution increase the wellbeing of the animals, it also reduces aggressive behaviour and avoids unnecessary costs.
TEWE offers well-developed, thoroughly tried-and-tested technology for liquid piglet feeding. The liquid feeding system tailored to the needs of piglets produces a demonstrable increase in performance and cost-effectiveness.
Since piglets are naturally fed with liquid, this feeding method goes down well with them. Successful feeding requires high-quality liquid feed with an optimal composition for the nutritional requirements of small piglets. TEWE’s smart technology takes care of this, while also maximising performance and optimising digestion. There are various feeding methods to choose from:
- in short, long or round troughs
- in mash or dry feed machines
- option to add sensors
TEWE’s practical experience has shown that gains of up to 600 g per day can be achieved in the rearing phase, especially when piglets are fed with TEWE PigStart from their first day of life.
Health and maximum weight gain can be achieved with liquid piglet feed or Airfeed pneumatic feeding for piglets. Airfeed also provides the piglets with optimal hygiene using the no-residue process. Customised feed mixtures are transported dry and can then be dispensed at the trough in dry or liquefied form.
In conclusion
TEWE’s liquid piglet feeding is a proven, efficient solution for optimal performance and profitability in piglet rearing. Consuming liquid feed corresponds to the natural behaviour of the piglets and produces a significant increase in daily weight gain. Precise control and adjustment of feeding maximises the performance of the piglets while also ensuring a high standard of hygiene. Liquid piglet feeding reduces the need for medicine, minimises veterinary expenses, and allows weaker piglets to receive targeted support. Overall, it improves the wellbeing, health and growth of the piglets, which leads to more efficient rearing and higher yields.
Benefits
- High daily weight gain in the rearing area: Liquid piglet feeding enables optimal nutrition, which leads to a significant increase in the daily weight gain of the piglets. This results in more efficient rearing and higher profits.
- Optimised performance: Any improvement in each piglet’s daily weight gain, no matter how small, makes a big difference when scaled up to the large numbers of animals used in intensive farming TEWE’s liquid feeding technology enables precise monitoring and adjustment of feeding to maximise the performance of the piglets.
- Excellent hygiene: A high standard of hygiene is ensured in particular by the no-residue process, as it does not leave any feed residue in the system. The risk of contamination sinks while the health and wellbeing of the piglets increase.
- Less use of medicine: Optimal feeding with liquid feed helps make piglets healthier and more resistant to disease. This reduces the need for medicine, minimises veterinary expenses and cuts production costs.
- Adequate feed supplementation for weak piglets: The possibility to individually adjust feeding allows weaker piglets to receive targeted support to improve their health and growth.
Features
Versatile:
Liquid piglet feeding can be implemented in various ways, including in manual and fully automatic versions. This allows adjustment to the specific needs and capacities of the farm.
Precise dosing and blending:
TEWE’s feeding technology offers precise dosing options and the chance to blend various feedstuffs. This allows optimal feed composition to be ensured for the piglets.
Integrated control systems:
The control of the liquid piglet feeding can be seamlessly integrated into existing feeding computers, which enables easy management and monitoring of feeding processes.
Less working time:
Automated feeding technology greatly reduces the manual workload, which saves working time and increases efficiency on farms.
