Call-Inn pro & CallMatic pro

Electronic feeding systems for sows in group housing

Big Dutchman has two innovative elec­tro­nic sow feeding (ESF) systems on offer: Call-Innpro and CallMaticpro. Each of these feeding systems is a perfect choice for pregnant sows kept in groups. They ideally combine the advantages of animal-friendly housing and a feeding method specially adapted to the require­ments of each individual sow.

For the sows, group management means more freedom to move, better health and robustness. Individual, computer-controlled feeding allows the feed supply to be matched precisely to the condition of the sow. For the farm manager, this means healthy sows, performance-related feeding and best use of the house surface area. The feeding station can also be used to select sows automatically.

Main advantages

  • management of large groups (max. 60 sows per station) animal-friendly and economic housing system;
  • individual feeding of all sows based on the current requirements of each sow for a better overall condition and healthy animals;
  • trough flap remains closed if the sow is not entitled to receive feed;
  • manual operation directly at the station is possible;
  • pneumatic opening of the gates; the entrance gate is always open when the station is unoccupied, which makes training gilts much easier;
  • solid side partitions for undisturbed feed intake;
  • use of sound-absorbing materials to ensure a low noise level in and around the station.
