Effects of Precision Feeding on Economic and Productive Yields of Hyperprolific Lactating Sows Allocated at Different Farrowing Pens

The aim of this study was to determine the effects of the electronic feeding systems used in different types of farrowing pens on the productive and economic yields of lactating hyperprolific sows under commercial farm conditions. The results indicate a remarkable decrease in feed wastage and, there...

The results indicate a remarkable decrease in feed wastage and, therefore, an improvement in the economic and environmental sustainability of production. The results obtained using precision feeding in maternities (electronic sow feeders, ESFs) may be affected by the type of farrowing pen, as the design of the pen may modify the behavior of the sows.

The results showed an overall lower feed disappearance in sows fed with ESFs and, consequently, a lower amount of feed per weaned piglet and per kg of weaned piglet, with evidence of improved welfare and no negative effects on body weight, condition at weaning or reproductive yields in the following cycle. These effects were, however, modulated by the type of pen and the type of bawl feeder; this finding highlights the need for improvement in the design of facilities and especially feeders to allow the sow a better use of available feed. 22025-01-0120252025-01-01Articlehttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501VoRhttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85info:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://ddd.uab.cat/record/320993https://dx.doi.org/urn:doi:10.3390/ani15050763reponame:Dipòsit Digital de Documents de la UABinstname:Universitat Autònoma de BarcelonaInglésengopen accesshttp://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2Aquest document està subjecte a una llicència d'ús Creative Commons.
