To ensure a large feed intake in a short time it is recommended to use ad-lib feeder featuring head separation and water supply which ensures calm pigs and minimum feed waste. The ad-lib feeders should be placed by the walls to provide more space in the feeding area. The pigs will quickly spot the free feeding places and queues by the feeders are avoided. Domino recommends up to 450 pigs per scale.
Domino Pig Sort is as well suited for installation in most existing pens as for installation in newly built pens. We understand the importance of correct layout, utilisation of the area available and the functions.
Example of DOMINO Pig Sort
In this example we have chosen to arrange the large pen as a Multi-function-stable where the large pen also is used as delivery area. As it appears from the drawing there is a feeding area with relief pens, this area is placed in the pen so that there is a passage of 2-3 meters around it. The feeding area is placed in that part of the stable where the exit/door to the delivery of the pigs is placed.
There are doors at the sides of the feeding area. Normally these doors will be open in order that the pigs can use the whole area. When time has come for delivery of pigs, a sorting will take place, and then the doors corresponding to the room needed for the number of pigs to be sorted out, will be closed. The doors will be closed in a way leaving a closed area round the sorting exit in the middle. This is to take place just before the sorting is started. The time for the sorting is controlled by the computer, it takes approx. 12-16 hours. When the pigs that have been sorted out have been picked up the doors can be opened again and the remaining pigs can use the whole area.
