PIGS

Rota Guido design for the growing and finishing phases

Once pigs leave the weaning department, they have a more developed physical structure and a greater ability to adapt to environmental and feeding changes. However, as in every farming phase, changes can still generate moments of stress, which must be managed through appropriate design solutions. For this reason, in the growing and finishing departments, Rota Guido design adopts solutions capable of supporting the animal’s development throughout the whole cycle. In around 180 days, the pig goes from 30 to over 170 kg, passing through more than one season: in this context, attention to design detail becomes crucial in ensuring high production performance.

GROWING AND FINISHING

Feeding

The ad libitum technique can be adopted, typically achieved with dry feeding and chain or spiral feed transport, or alternatively rationed feeding, usually wet. The latter technique is controlled by a computerised system that automatically dispenses to each individual pen the quantity of feed according to a pre-set diet and growth curve.

GROWING AND FINISHING

Large-group management technique

Rota Guido offers systems for growing and fattening in large groups, based on sorting stations with automatic weighing of the individual animal. Depending on weight, the animal is directed towards the most suitable feeding system or to the dispatch pen.

In addition to slightly reducing costs compared with traditional systems, this solution improves welfare thanks to greater freedom of movement, simplifies management and allows easier health monitoring. It also guarantees high loading uniformity, with a weighing error of less than one kilogram.
