Sows mingle in group housing with electronic sow feeders
Hog farmer Kenny, from the RM of Springfield, took this video of his pregnant sows using electronic sow feeders in free-access stalls. Computer-controlled feeders allot each sow a specific amount of feed, dropped into the feed bowl over a limited period of time. Sows are able to decide when they want to eat and do so by entering the stalls. They can eat all of their feed in one sitting, or can have multiple smaller meals throughout the day. Their choice. The feeders keep delivering about 100 g of feed at a time until the sows choose to leave the stall, which they do so by backing into the back gate
