FARM VISIT: Capacity problems vanish with better weaner care
Pig producer Roy Hannen, based in the south of the Netherlands, likes to think differently. He created additional space inside the pig house simply by increasing the pig flow. Working consistently is an absolute necessity.
When a grower pig house reaches the limits of its capacity, there are 2 main ways this can be overcome. One is to create additional places; the other is to make sure the animals grow faster. Pig producer Roy Hannen, located in Heibloem, Limburg province, the Netherlands, decided to go for the second option. For both visitors as well as himself he has raised the bar considerably and continues to strive for better results with his pigs.
