At the meat pig farm of Adrie van de Pas, the system of pig feeding goes on shovel. The long troughs go out and a Variomix feed machine from PT1 comes in. From a feeding place per pig I go back to almost a eating place per ten animals. Providing practical experience with this type of feed is varied, but I have seen at a large pig farm that it works fine. That is why I see it as a challenge to make it a success. But above all, Adrie chooses the extra square meters he can use to keep meat pigs. Instead of four times eight animals, I can now keep 19 meat pigs twice. Every year I can deliver 750 extra meat pigs within the same stable space
