Animal welfare is based on four principles: good feeding, suitable housing, good health and species-appropriate behaviour.

Rotecna has two types of automatic dry feed distribution systems for pig farms: chain drags with cleats and flexible spiral fluidisation.

The cluster of Spanish pig producers i+Porc promotes a strategic communication plan to improve the pig sector's image in society.

The Spanish pork sector closed 2023 with record prices and faces 2024 significant challenges in terms of health, welfare, and the environment.

The Pascual Gardeñes Agricultural Farm in Térmens (Lleida) works with Rotecna’s electronic feeding system in its 392 farrowing pens.

It is established that the pens must have adequate environmental control systems to prevent thermal stress of the animals.

Precise temperature and humidity control, efficient ventilation management, user-friendly interfaces and energy efficiency are key factors.

In 2022, pork production stood at 5.2 million metric tons.

The company has signed an agreement with Munters, a world leader in energy-efficient climate and air treatment solutions.

The management of the fattening phase is the one that has the greatest economic impact on production, so correct feeding management can lead to significant savings.

Rotecna incorporates new models with probes into its range of heated plates that allow more precise temperature regulation, greater efficiency and lower energy consumption.

The choice of the technique to apply in each case will be conditioned by the level of emissions reduction to be achieved, as well as other technical and economic factors.

The quality of Spanish pork and the professionalism of the Spanish pork sector have positioned this food in more than 100 markets.  

The Pucero farm, located in Alcubierre (Huesca), has a capacity for 4,200 fattening pigs.

The EU VACDIVA project, led by Professor José Manuel Sánchez-Vizcaíno, analyses the different possibilities for testing the vaccine in a controlled, natural habitat.
