Application and advantages of automatic feeding line in pig farms

2022-05-20

The use of automated pig raising equipment has long been mainstream in the entire pig industry. Whether it is a new construction or the renovation of an old pig house, automation equipment has brought great changes to the pig farm, liberating manpower and making farming easier!

 

 

It has become an irreversible trend to realize closed management, reduce personnel flow and comfortable pig house environment in the process of raising pig farms. The requirements of breeders on pig farms are also getting higher and higher, and most pig farms have difficulties in recruiting and employing workers. The use of automated feeding line equipment in pig farms is a very favorable way to solve the labor difficulties of pig farms, especially the extensive use of automated feeding systems can directly help pig farms solve labor problems. It also greatly improves the utilization rate of feed, reduces the probability of pigs getting sick, and improves the ratio of meat to feed.

 

 

The automatic feeding system of the pig farm is mainly composed of feeding tower, feeding line pipe, main engine, electric control box, feeding equipment, etc. It can realize unmanned management, low failure rate, and the automatic control system greatly reduces labor intensity, allowing people to have more Time is spent on management, and at the same time, farm efficiency is improved.

 

The working principle of the automatic feeding line is to drive the operation of the chain or auger through the operation of the main engine, so that the feed runs in the feeding pipe to the top of each feeding trough in the pig house. The feeding opening above each feeding trough in the pig house, and then the feed falls to the feeding trough. In the whole cycle, a sensor will be installed at the feeding opening of the last feeding trough. When the feeding trough is full, the sensor will send the full information Sending it to the micro-control system, it will automatically cut off the power supply and stop feeding, and this cycle of feeding is completed.

 

The feeding system of the sow barn is mainly combined with the positioning bar. A quantitative barrel will be installed at the feeding port above each positioning bar to transport the feed in advance. After the quantitative barrel is full, you must wait for the feeding time. After the time is up The motor will pull the wire rope, lift the leak-proof ball in the quantitative bucket, and the feed will be lowered. This process can realize regular and quantitative feeding, effectively avoid feed contamination, control the body condition of the sow, relieve the stress response of the sow, and promote the efficiency of the pig farm.

 

Of course, the installation of the automatic feeding line system of the pig farm needs to be different according to the actual situation of the local pig farm construction.


 

The use of automated feeding lines can be reflected in the following aspects:

 

1. Save labor

 

One person can complete the feeding of 200 sows. One-key start to realize automatic feeding, which can also reduce the flow of personnel in the pig house. Although the initial investment in the installation of the automatic feeding line system is large, the labor cost is getting higher and higher. , the labor cost for a long time is enough to save

2. Improve feed utilization

 

The use of automatic feeding system can achieve precise feeding, effectively reduce feed pollution, reduce uneven feeding and waste in conveying and feeding.

3. Reduced feed dust

 

Through the use of feeding line pipes, the respiratory diseases of pigs caused by dust caused by manual feeding can be effectively reduced.

4. Improve the economic benefits of pig farms

 

The use of automatic pig raising equipment can directly reduce the labor intensity of labor, help the production efficiency of pig farms, the performance is relatively stable, the failure rate is still low, and the regular and quantitative feeding improves the utilization rate of feed.

It is very necessary for large and medium-sized pig farms to use automated feeding systems. It is necessary to fully understand and attach importance to the use of automated equipment to promote the improvement of pig farm benefits.
