"With more than 20 years of experience in the pig industry, Alberto Pascual, with two farms of 2,500 sows each in Avila, decided to take things a step further and, in 2016, started a project from scratch to build a breeding farm for 3,000 sows. In the design of the new operation, Alberto went for a very different type of farm, with new management methods, high biosecurity measures and a clear commitment to energy efficiency."

Jaume is the third generation of the Alòs family to run this farm located in Almenar, which currently has 400 mothers.

Proper slurry management is one of the main challenges of the future of the pig sector. Faced with growing pig numbers and increasingly more demanding administrative requirements in environmental terms, livestock waste limits the growth potential of farms, especially in areas with a high concentration of pig production in very little space. Having efficient and cost-effective equipment on farms for the separation of solids is posited as the best solution to this problem.

Custom-made fattening panels are a durable, hygienic solution adapted to new pig housing models.

By using the Ni-2 Mobile, we were able to reduce heating consumption in farrowing pens by 30%.

Following a recent expansion of its facilities, the Arbeca farm now has 7,200 fattening places.

For six months, Granja Peretó-Erill, with 1,600 mothers, has been working with Dositronic in the maternity ward.

100% of the equipment installed on Hugo's pig farm in Guatemala is from Rotecna.
