Optimizing Production Efficiency The post-weaning transition presents critical physiological hurdles: enteric distress, feed refusal, and post-weaning growth lag. Overcoming these challenges requires driving voluntary feed and water ... Research Wet/Dry Feeding
Calibrating Wet/Dry Feeders After installing new wet/dry feeders, production managers often ask: How do we calibrate our settings to ensure maximum Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR) and Average Daily Gain (ADG)? The answer lies in und... Management Tips Wet/Dry Feeding
Beyond Manufacturing At Crystal Spring Hog Equipment, our responsibility doesn’t end when a delivery leaves our factory. Equipment manufacturing is more than bending stainless steel—it is about building long-term partners... Customer Support Wet/Dry Feeding
Optimizing Stocking Density When transitioning finishing facilities from conventional box-type dry feeders to wet/dry shelf feeders, one question consistently tops technical discussions: How many pigs can a single feeder space s... Research Wet/Dry Feeding
Maximizing Lactation Feed Intake Lactation is the most metabolically demanding phase in a sow's reproductive cycle. Achieving maximum Average Daily Feed Intake (ADFI) during farrowing is critical to supporting heavy litter weaning we... Adaptive-Flow Research Watering
9 Essential Best Practices for Wet/Dry Feeder Management Managing wet/dry feeders isn’t complicated, but it requires a different approach than conventional dry feeding systems. Because pigs eat up to 20% faster on wet/dry feeders, understanding feeder dynam... Wet/Dry Feeding
Water Management in the Nursery Water is the most critical yet frequently overlooked nutrient in swine nutrition. At birth, water accounts for roughly 80% of a piglet's body weight, declining to about 50% by the time the pig reaches... Nursery Watering
Sustainable Swine Production Sustainability isn't just a corporate buzzword for today's pork producers—it’s a bottom-line necessity. Consumers increasingly want to know that the protein on their plates is produced efficiently, mi... Research Watering Wet/Dry Feeding
Bigger Is Better Over the last three decades, average market weights for finishing pigs in North America have increased by over 30 lbs (13.6 kg). This upward trajectory is driven by a simple economic reality: higher e... Market Insights Wet/Dry Feeding
Unlock Full Genetic Potential Through Advanced Feeding Technology Modern pork production operates on precision. To achieve elite herd performance, producers invest heavily in top-tier swine genetics, precision nutrition formulations, and automated barn technologies.... Market Insights Research Wet/Dry Feeding
The Role of Wet/Dry Feeding in Maximizing Nursery Performance In nursery production, the primary goal is straightforward: maximize piglet viability, protect gut health, and achieve optimal Average Daily Gain (ADG) at the lowest cost per pound of gain. "Getting n... Nursery Wet/Dry Feeding
