Mould- and bacterial growth is common inside feeding pipes. Especially when the room is empty, and the feed system is temporary out of use. An already sensitive piglet should not spend their first days on its own eating mouldy feed.
Weaning diarrhoea and the reduced growth of both weaning- and finisher pigs represent a significant loss of income. This can be avoided with improved feed hygiene. Tests also show that washing the inside of feed pipes can reduce the risk of farrowing fever radically.
By continuously cleaning the insides of the feeding tubes, you can reduce the risk of post weaning diarrhea and farrowing fever. This will have a positive impact on the farm’s finances.
