Danvit Milk Feeding System

- Your possibility to make the great sow even better!

By using a milk cup system, the number of nursing sows is reduced because the sows can take care of more piglets. When milk is supplied the first days after the farrowing, it will often take 1-2 days more before nursing sows are needed. This results in more newborn piglets getting colostrum from the sow which gives them the best possible start of life.
When fewer piglets are moved between the sows, there is also another positive side effect: the risk of infection is reduced. The result is healthier and stronger pigs in the nursing period that eat more from the sow which ensures a good milk production.
Another advantage of having fewer nursing sows is that the young sows in the herd are spared because they are often used as nursing sows.
When the self-weaning rate increases by 1.5 pig per litter, the pig’s weaning age is increased by 3 days – or the need for farrowing units for the same number of sows per year is decreased by 10-15%.
Remember: a milk cup system is not a replacement for the sow – only a possibility to make the great sow even better.

Your advantages of using a milk feeding system from DanVit

MORE PIGLETS BY EACH INDIVIDUAL SOW

Each sow can feed more piglets, thereby reducing the number of lactating sows needed, and weaning each individual piglet becomes much easier because the piglet has achieved a higher starting weight in the climatized barn than if you would not use a milk feeding system and milk powder from DanVit.

MIXED ALL DAY AND NIGHT

The unique thing about your DanVit milk feeding system is that the milk powder is mixed all day and night. Mixing takes place based on mixing recipes which are managed within a logically structured PLC control unit that controls the measuring and stirring procedure of the system. You can use the control unit to decide how often you would like the system to run the automatic cleaning procedure.

OPTIMAL QUALITY

The milk is distributed to each individual sty through a circulation system. This ensures a high level of milk quality – also in barn sections with small pigs and low consumption.

CONSUMPTION LOG

In order to always have the full overview of milk consumption in your barn, you can retrieve a log that shows you the consumption of water, milk powder and cleaning agents.
