Precision Feeding in Pig Farming: Implementing Intelligent Silo Weighing Technology

In traditional pig farms, there is no precise feeding mechanism, the troughs are often full or insufficient. The combination of intelligent silo weighing and smart farming solutions solves these problems.

The Importance of Precision Feeding

Precision feeding is the precise calculation and distribution of feed according to the pig's growth stage, weight, appetite, and other factors. This type of feeding ensures that pigs receive adequate nutrition while avoiding waste and over-nutrition. Precision feeding is important to increase growth rate, reduce disease incidence, and improve meat quality.

Application of Silo Load Cells in Precision Feeding

Intelligent silo weighing system play an important role in precision feeding. By monitoring the weight of feed in the silo in real-time, the system can accurately grasp the consumption of feed. In addition, silo weighing data can be linked with other management modules, such as automatic feeders and drinking water equipment, to realize automated and intelligent management.

Advantages of Smart Farming Solutions

The operating system of smart farming solutions is stable, simple, and easy to learn and use. The system is equipped with a mobile management system for cell phones, which allows managers to check sow feeding and production anytime and anywhere, and the data on the cell phone is synchronized and updated with the feeding system data. The administrator can also correct the mutual switching between feeder and base station modes. Through remote control, remote operation of the base station monitor can be realized to simplify management.

A Few Suggestions for Feeding Operation

• When the sows are in the same state of pregnancy, the heavier pigs need more feed than those that are younger and lighter, and it is important to set their feeding curves differently.

• Do not supply less than the animal's minimum daily ration, and the ration should be nutritious and palatable. If the ration has a poor texture and bores the animals, they are not motivated to re-enter the feeding station to feed.

• As much as possible, keep the animals living in small consistent groups to minimize stress.

In conclusion, intelligent silo weighing system plays an important role in precision feeding in pig farming. By adopting this technology, precision feeding can be realized, feeding efficiency and pig health can be improved, and the sustainable development of pig farming can be strongly supported.
