Software for monitoring water and feed consumption - challenges

  • Pigs change drinking behavior as they grow
  • Drinking patterns vary between herds / housing systems
  • Research and modelling is based on data from very few test herds
  • Expensive equipment for data collection

Growth estimation based on feed intake

  • Investigation indicates that growth rate can be estimated based on feed intake
  • Need to know feed composition and continues feed consumption
