Description of the system
The systems record the events of pig production, such as farrowing results, number of weaners, number of slaughtered and feed consumption. Some data can also be retrieved from other systems. Recorded and retrieved data generate various performance reports in which the performance of the herd is reported.
Reports and results are valuable for monitoring production and can be used as a basis for decision-making and for managing the enterprise. For example, you can identify areas for improvement or see the results of a particular change made in production. The data is also of importance to other industry players such as veterinarians and advisors.
Production monitoring in pig production has traditionally been done via PC, but new technology has made it possible to record events directly in the barn, saving time and duplication of work. The products mentioned above have come to the market in the 2010s and 2020s and development is continuous. Pricing for this type of product is usually based on how many animals are handled in the system.
