In Agelo, in the province of Overijssel (NL) our partner Installatiebedrijf FH Loohuis BV Saasveld installed the new sow house for gestating sows at the farm owned by the Lansink family. In the new house, the pregnant sows are housed in groups. The sows are fed automatically using 16 Fancom Intellitek feeding stations with individual animal recognition.
