Strategic feeding for lactating sows
Vigreen Farrowing Feeding with wireless Activator gives you the control to increase feed intake during lactation which drives sow and pig performance for maximum return on investment.
Stimulate lactating sow feed intake
Vigreen Farrowing Feeding automatically delivers small snack-sized portions of fresh feed on a preset schedule. Meanwhile, the optional wireless Activator add-on enables sows to “ask” for additional snack-sized feed portions at any time by moving a trigger in the feeder with their snout. Sows get 24/7 precision feeding. You get peace of mind knowing your sows’ intake is maximized.
- Snack-sized fresh feed portions delivered more often than ad-lib feeding stimulate appetite and increase overall feed intake.
- When Vigreen Activator doesn’t detect feeder activity for a predetermined time period, it sends an automated alert, so you know which sows need attention without manual feeder checks.
The best part? Vigreen Farrowing Feeding with wireless Activator gives producers control to increase feed intake during lactation, which drives sow and pig performance in any type of sow housing.

Minimize labor
Vigreen Activator’s demand-driven feeding also reduces labor and feed costs. Employees don’t have to manually check feeders and remove feed. They know which sows need attention, and they know faster than with ad-lib feeding. Automated and demand-driven feeding can also cut feed wastage, which accounts for up to 70% of pork production costs.
Save time. Save money. Improve pig performance. It makes Sense.
