RFID Free Access Sow Feeding Stall

• RFID Individual Identification: Each sow can be recognized through an electronic ear tag for individual feeding and management.
• Individual Feed Allocation: Feed quantity can be programmed according to body condition, production stage and farm feeding strategy.
• Protected Feeding Space: The stall helps prevent other sows from disturbing the identified animal while she is eating.
• Free Access Operation: The sow can voluntarily enter the feeding station and leave after feeding according to the selected system configuration.
• Automatic Feed Dosing: A controlled dosing unit delivers feed into the trough after successful animal identification and feeding authorization.
• Group Housing Compatibility: Supports individual feeding while pregnant sows remain housed in social groups.
• Feeding Data Management: Feeding visits, ration delivery and abnormal feeding behavior can be recorded when connected to a compatible management controller.
• Reduced Feed Competition: Closed or partially enclosed feeding areas help limit visual and physical competition around the trough.
• Modular System Design: Additional feeding stations can be incorporated according to herd size and project requirements.
• Retrofit Capability: The modular arrangement can be adapted to many existing gestation houses subject to site conditions.
• Heavy-Duty Construction: Galvanized steel components are designed for intensive livestock-house environments.

• Free Access Stall Frame: Galvanized tubular steel structure forming the protected feeding position.
• Entrance Gate Mechanism: Designed to allow sow entry while helping prevent another sow from entering an occupied station.
• Protective Side Panels: Separate the feeding sow from neighboring animals and help reduce feeding disturbance.
• RFID Antenna: Reads the sow's electronic identification tag as she reaches the feeding area.
• Electronic Controller: Processes identification information and determines whether feed should be dispensed.
• Feed Hopper: Stores feed immediately above or adjacent to the dosing system.
• Feed Dosing Unit: Delivers programmed feed portions according to the individual feeding plan.
• Feed Trough: Provides a protected eating position and can be configured according to project requirements.
• Water Dosing Interface: Optional water addition to feed can be incorporated when required.
• Identification and Marking Accessories: Color marking or related management accessories are available upon request.
• Floor Fixing Components: Anchors and structural brackets secure the feeding station to the pig house floor.

Q: How does RFID identification work in the sow feeding stall?
A: Each sow carries an electronic ear tag. When she enters the feeding station, the RFID reader identifies the animal and the controller checks her individual feeding program before feed is dispensed.

Q: Can each sow receive a different feed quantity?
A: Yes. Individual feed allocation is one of the main purposes of an RFID electronic sow feeding system. Rations can be programmed according to the farm's feeding strategy and the condition or production stage of each animal.

Q: Why is a free-access stall used with electronic sow feeding?
A: The free-access structure provides a protected feeding position while allowing the sow to remain part of a group-housing system.

Q: Can another sow enter while the identified sow is eating?
A: The entrance and protection system is designed to restrict interference by other animals while the feeding stall is occupied.

Q: Can feeding information be recorded?
A: Yes. A compatible management system can record identification, feeding visits, feed delivery and other useful sow-management data.

Q: Can the system identify sows that are not eating normally?
A: Feeding records can help farm staff identify animals with missed visits or abnormal feed intake, depending on the selected controller and software configuration.

Q: Can water be added to the feed?
A: Water dosing can be supplied as an optional configuration according to project requirements.

Q: Is an animal marking system available?
A: Yes. Color marking and related sow-management accessories are available upon request.

Q: Can this system be installed in an existing gestation barn?
A: Yes. Retrofit solutions can be developed after reviewing the existing floor plan, feeding system, electrical installation, flooring, manure channels and sow movement routes.

Q: What information is needed for project design and quotation?
A: Recommended information includes sow capacity, group size, barn drawings, feeding strategy, existing feed-delivery equipment, floor type, RFID requirements, water supply and required management functions.
