BrEasy is a sliding baffle that focuses the pit fan’s airflow to draw out the coldest and heaviest gases from right above the manure line. Simply use the visual pit indicator and raise the baffles with a cable turn system. BrEasy creates a healthier barn environment for people, pigs, and pits with a rapid ROI. How? An ISU study found that BrEasy: reduces in-barn ammonia by 32%, odor by 43%. Additional trials found a substantial reduction in propane use.
Fresh feed, all the time. Every time.
The MealMeter was developed by an intuitive producer who was frustrated by wasted feed and limited feed intake in the breeding area of his sow farm. This sow feeding device is instrumental in increasing feed consumption with every sow at this critical time in her reproductive cycle while at the same time greatly reducing feed waste. In areas that are either labor intensive or full of feed and water waste, the MealMeter takes the human element out of feeding and meets the demands of each sow’s varied eating times.
GDU/Finishing Feeder
The PigEasy Gilt Development and Finishing Feeder is a “pig” intuitive approach to feeding gilts in the GDU and pigs in the finishing barn. Unlike any other, this system utilizes the patented MealMeter technology for an unparalleled, no need to adjust feeder. Its individual pans and divided eating spaces are designed to diminish feed and water waste while optimizing feed consumption.
Pig ID Cart
The PigEasy ID Cart is a simple and effective tool for quickly and uniformly tagging and tattooing pigs. Typically a time-consuming and fatigue-inducing chore, the PigEasy ID Cart eliminates stress on your hands and back with two foot pedal operated taggers. This allows the operator to use both hands to hold the pig for a more consistent and easy application of each tag or tattoo.
The industry-leading AI Saddle (AI Plus) is the easy and effective approach to the artificial insemination process. The sleek and indestructible design holds the bottles or bags in place to be completely emptied and also puts pressure on the sow allowing technicians a hands-free method to breeding multiple sows at one time.
