Optimal feeders for farrowing piglets: VERBA Piglet feeder and K-series dry feeder
The first stage of a piglet's life is very important for the rest of its life. A good condition has a healthy foundation. Therefore, the transition from (sow) milk to solid food must be smooth. The VERBA Piglet feeder and K-series dry feeder promote feed intake in the suckling period, leading to better feed intake after weaning.
Pigletfeeder: The ideal feeder for baby piglets
The VERBA Pigletfeeder is a very accessible feeder for farrowing piglets. You can easily place this piglet feeder in the partition wall of two farrowing pens. Piglets dose the feed themselves by playing with the feeding mechanism. Thanks to the transparent storage bunker, the piglet feeder needs to be refilled less often, saving labor costs. The piglet feed stays fresh in the stainless steel trough, making it better absorbed by the farrowing piglets.
The Pigletfeeder feeder features a horizontal U-profile (standard 35 mm internal), which makes building into the partition easy. It is also available with a removable trough, which makes cleaning easy. This is useful if you want to feed milk first and switch to solid piglet feed later.
K series dry feeder: For a smooth transition to solid food
The piglet dry feeders of the VERBA K series are suitable for all types of piglet feed. These piglet feeding troughs are specially constructed for piglets from 5 to 20 kg. Due to the low trough, young piglets learn to eat easily. In combination with the Verba "Duo-drinker", a K-series piglet feeder offers the ideal solution for the farrowing pen. The K feeders with multiple feeding places are especially popular, because piglets learn to eat together from the feeder. Seeing them eat, makes them eat.
Benefits scientifically based
Scientific research from Wageningen University and Research from November 2020 shows that piglets that learn to eat solid feed as early as the farrowing pen benefit from better growth, health and behavior. Read more in the November 2020 New Harvest article Article from New Harvest November 2020
