Electronic sow feeders

[Tommy]

Any recommendations or advice on the best/ trouble free sow feeders? We have 50 sows to feed, currently split into four groups. We have Erra feeders atm and find in a group of 10 we get 2 fat sows,6 average and 2 thin sows. I’d like to open the shed up and feed them all through a feeder individually to even out sow condition and tailor the feed during the gestation.
Thanks

You'd just about get 50 sows to one Nedap ESF and dependent on how many feeds per day you'd like to calibrate

Happy to discuss via PM

I have old Hunday feeders with Nedap gear on them now, I have 2 stations and udually run a hundred sows in a group on them.

They are good for independantly feeding the sows and would be better if I were more diligent in changing the data at maintaining the correct body condition.

I wouldn't go back to any other system but then I have had them for 26 years now.
