Frequently Asked Questions

Question 1: Why Gestal FM for my herd ?

Answer 1: In brief ... it reduce production costs & increase productivity, because GESTAL FM improves profitability in a context of shortage of manpower, maximizing nutrient intakes of lactating sows and defining a food strategy for each animal. The Gestal FM will feed your sows 24/7, year round.




Question 2: Can you comment on the modern sows and prolificacy ?

answer 2:The sow as we know it today is very different from its congener of 25 years ago. The selection continued as sows reproductive performance has resulted in many changes in the development of the modern sow. Major changes:
1. Body composition: ratio lean mass / fat mass increased.
2. Increase in body size at maturity.
3. Increase the size and growth rate of piglets.
4. Increased production of milk.
5. Potential for reduced appetite.

Added to this, genetic transformation, reduced the duration of lactation, up to reproduction earlier and pig farms larger. These changes make sows more vulnerable to stress and drastically reduce the margin for error in feeding and management of the sow hyperprolifique modern.
It should be adapted feeding practices according to these changes. Throughout the lactation period, sows should eat as much as possible to maintain an optimum body condition and thus maximize their productivity at the following scope. To do this, the producer should distribute several meals a day and provide constant access to fresh feed for all animals. However, such adaptation requires the addition of a large amount of resources of all kinds often not available. In addition, following a reduction of time spent observing the animals one by one, we see that some animals become sick, injured or lose weight and are not diagnosed in time. Consequently, these delays in diagnosis lead to lower productivity and cause considerable losses for growers.




Question 3: How can the Gestal FM help me in my farm ?

Answer 3: The Gestal FM provides a solution to staff shortages, the lack of time devoted to observation and monitoring of animals and lack of information on consumption patterns of breeding sows, the main causes of loss of income in industry.
