In
1991, Egebjerg introduced the first automated pipe feeder. In the years that followed,
this type of feeder has gained ground and it is now the prevailing feeder in the
market.
Egebjerg has continued to develop and improve the feeder, and today we are
proud to introduce the latest generation of automated pipe feeders, differing
on several important points from previous models and other makes.
For pig producers, automated feeders are one of the most important factors
for gaining an optimum gross profit margin.
By choosing the right feeder you can improve your gross profit margin considerably.
At Egebjerg, we had this goal in focus during the course of development. Every
single parameter for increasing the gross profit margin was carefully reviewed.
Repeated trials and adjustments took place to create the best automated feeder
in the market …
Factors given high priority during development:
| Hygiene: |
Lower incidence of illness
Easier cleaning
|
| Feed waste: |
Reduced, leading to lower feed costs |
| Improved daily gain |
Fewer feed days per pig produced |
The result of development is a supreme feeder:
| • |
Trough and feed tube making allowances for the natural eating
behaviour of pigs |
| • |
The pigs can mix feed and water by themselves = they eat with
more gusto. |
| • |
Always fresh feed because of the closed system, and because
the pigs only rake out the feed they eat. |
| • |
Minimal waste of feed and water. |
| • |
Easy to clean. |
| • |
Hygienic trough - no hidden corners, no caking. |
