Climate control in gestation sheds is essential to improve the health, well-being and productivity of animals.

Rotecna's electric plate consumes between 14% and 23% less energy than other models made of stainless steel-coated polymer.

Albert Pijuan, in his degree thesis, evaluates what effects the frequency of feed administration can have at the production level in sows and piglets. 

Improving feed intake with Dositronic M on a farm in Hungary had a positive effect on milk production, with more balanced litters and fewer deaths.

Different studies have shown that farrowing cages negatively influence the sows' physiology and delivery behaviour.

In the farm where it has been decided to work with the Dositronic M system in prepartum, it has been possible to reduce stillbirths by 0.4, after five months of use.

It is not accurate to give mortality rates of live births at weaning of about 15% or more.

Electronic feeding offers the farmer a set of options to configure a strategy according to the needs of each of his animals.

The presence of dust inside farms poses a threat to the health of animals, so it is necessary to implement solutions to the problem.

The sows must feed a large litter that requires the best nutritional contribution to develop its full growth potential.

In November 2020, the 'Guide to minimising gas emissions on swine farms' was published.

An electro-valve to offer water depending on the feed dispensed and an at-will water supply system outside the feeder are an excellent option.

The intake pattern affects both the total feed intake and the mobilisation of reserves of lactating sows.  

In the regular job of a fattening keeper, both physical and mental tasks must be performed.

Redirected behaviors: normal behaviors and movements that are directed towards a stimulus that is not normal.
