Electronic Sow Feeding Station

• Individual Sow Feeding: Feed allocation can be adapted to each sow's condition and stage of gestation.
• Electronic Identification: Compatible systems identify each animal by an electronic ear transponder or RFID tag.
• Protected Feeding: Solid side partitions allow the sow to eat with less interference from other animals.
• Static and Dynamic Groups: Suitable for different commercial group-management strategies.
• Controlled Animal Flow: Separate entrance and optimized exit gates help prevent animals from entering through the exit side.
• Dry or Liquid Feeding: Feeding configuration can be selected according to project requirements.
• Computer-Controlled Management: Feed intake, station visits and animal status can be recorded and monitored.
• Optional Sow Selection: Selected animals can be directed into a separate management area.
• Optional Colour Marking: Marking devices can identify sows requiring treatment, movement or management attention.
• Low-Noise Design: Sound-absorbing components can reduce noise around the feeding station.

• Entrance Gate: Controls sow entry and helps prevent multiple occupancy.
• Electronic Identification Unit: Reads the sow's transponder before feed is dispensed.
• Feed Hopper: Stores dry feed or connects with the selected feeding system.
• Precision Dosing Unit: Dispenses the programmed ration in controlled portions.
• Feeding Trough: Available with open configuration or optional trough flap according to system design.
• Solid Side Panels: Protect the feeding sow and reduce disturbance.
• Exit Gate System: Directs the sow back into the group or toward an optional selection area.
• Station Controller: Manages identification, feeding entitlement, dosing and optional station functions.
• Selection Unit: Optional gate system for automatically separating selected animals.
• Colour Marker: Optional marking equipment for animal management.

• Inspect entrance and exit gates for unrestricted movement.
• Clean the trough and feed-dosing components regularly.
• Check transponder identification and antenna performance.
• Inspect sensors, actuators and electrical connections according to the maintenance schedule.
• Keep controller housings protected from moisture and aggressive barn conditions.
• Review sow visit and feed-consumption data for abnormal patterns.
• Inspect optional selection and marking equipment periodically.
• Back up feeding and animal-management data according to farm procedures.

Q: What is an electronic sow feeding station?
A: It is a computer-controlled feeding station that identifies individual sows and dispenses feed according to each animal's programmed ration.

Q: How is each sow identified?
A: Compatible systems use an electronic transponder or RFID ear tag that is read automatically when the sow enters the station.

Q: How many sows can one station serve?
A: The referenced CallMatic 3 Pro system is designed for groups of up to approximately 70 sows per station, subject to country-specific requirements and farm conditions.

Q: Can the system feed each sow differently?
A: Yes. Individual feeding curves allow the ration to be adjusted according to body condition, gestation stage and production management.

Q: Can it be used with both static and dynamic groups?
A: Yes. Electronic sow feeding stations can be configured for both group-management strategies.

Q: Is dry feeding the only option?
A: No. Compatible station systems can be configured for dry or liquid feeding according to project requirements.

Q: Can selected sows be separated automatically?
A: Yes. An optional selection unit can route designated animals to a separate management pen.

Q: Can the system monitor feed intake?
A: Yes. The control system can record visits and feed consumption, helping farm managers identify animals requiring attention.

Q: What information is required for quotation?
A: Recommended information includes total sow inventory, sows per group, static or dynamic management, feed type, floor system, pen dimensions, required identification and selection functions, and project drawings.
