Pigs

[Music] welcome to the pig farm at our denka farm Innovation Center a new Innovative research location for the pig farming sector a modern research facility where we perform different types of feed research with piglets and SS this is how we create knowledge each and every day in this way we find the best Solutions which help Pig Farmers to further improve their results the pig farm is a highquality research facility with an Optimum environment for keeping piglets and SS as well as receiving visitors there is room for 260 s which produce around 8,000 piglets a year let's take a look inside we find ourselves in the visitor's Corridor as a visitor you can walk through the corridor past the pens where you can see the animals but today we're taking you inside the pens the themselves follow me the Departments are lighted by energy efficient LED lights now we're going into the adaptation room the youngest replacement guilts share a pen when they're 5 months old we move them to a pen where they are trained to eat from a feeding station this makes their transition into the larger group [Music] easier in The Mating room room you will find extra fluorescent lighting this helps stimulate the osteras of the S the corridors in front of the crates have doors per five crates to work with the bo this stimulates a proper standing reflex during insemination on the ceiling we can see a rail with a worktop for insemination supplies the feed intake of each individual animal is registered with the ferot system for the gestation room we use Picto slats these have an acid resistant top layer and an inative slit for manure did you know that we can close the slats with plastic strips that way we can create more closed floor space in an instant the gestation department has four feeding stations in which we can choose to offer two different types of Feed the feeding station storage is filled by a computer operated dry feed installation this makes it easy to switch between different types of [Music] Feed in the farrowing room the temperature is kept at Optimum levels sensor-driven heat lamps ensure the ideal temperature for the newborn piglets in their nest the space around the nest can have a lower temperature so the SS can get rid of their excess Heat to improve the welfare of the animals we have opted for free farrowing pens these are larger than usual there is also extra space to place feeding bowls for the piglets which means we can research the intake and effects of supplemental feeding of the sucking piglets the SS are fed individually with a sensor-driven fitech system this means the S can decide when she eats we can monitor her eating habits perfectly the piglets are fed in the maternity Department besides researching traditional uses of types of pre- starters we're also researching Innovative feeding systems that is how we help Pig Farmers make the right choice one of the farrowing rooms has a neutrix plus liquid feeding installation for piglets the dispensing of feed is sensor-driven the other farrowing room has a cup system in both rooms we can provide two types of feed at the same time one type of feed per row after being weaned the piglets go to the nursery for research purposes they are housed in smaller groups the nursery is heated by means of a heat recovery system we use the heat recovered from the floor of the gastation [Music] room the computer-driven feed installation allows us to provide the piglets with nine different types of feed to ensure accurate research brushes have been installed on the feeding chain these prevent cross-contamination of feed and finally there's the digestibility room this houses 24 pens with two piglets each in these pens we can collect the manure and urine separately we can also carefully measure the feed and water intake this gives us great insight into how the piglets digest different types of feed or specific raw materials our new Research Center is fully equipped to sustainably keep piglets and SS and to practically conduct feed research this is how we create knowledge knowledge we can use to improve our feed Concepts knowledge we would like to share with you so that the pig farmers who use our products can achieve more profit denka Farm Innovation Center creating knowledge to share knowledge
