The automatic concentrate feeder provides individual feeding for gestating sows while maintaining group housing.

The station follows the feed allocation you have set for this animal.

Individual feedingFREEDA
FREEDA
Walk In
A solution to consider for a new building or existing pens. Feed delivery follows each sow’s feeding curve.
Manufacturer page · English
Static groupsFREEDA
FREEDA
Walk Through
The sow enters one end of the station and leaves through the other. This organises traffic and separates entry from exit during feeding.
Manufacturer page · English
Dynamic groupsFREEDA
FREEDA
Dynamic Separation
Walk Through stations combined with an exit module that directs selected sows into a separate area.
Manufacturer page · English| Configuration | Main requirement | What to assess in your building |
|---|---|---|
| Walk In | Individual feeding during gestation | Pen layout and station access |
| Walk Through | Feed static groups with organised traffic | Entry, forward exit and resting areas |
| Dynamic Separation | Feed dynamic groups and separate selected sows | Exit module and separation area |

What is the difference between DAC and ESF?
DAC is the French abbreviation for an automatic concentrate feeder. ESF means Electronic Sow Feeding. On this page, both refer to individual electronic feeding for sows.
Does the ear tag measure the sow’s behaviour?
The identification tag lets the station recognise the animal. Feeding information comes from the station and management system; a passive RFID tag does not measure behaviour on its own.
Is automatic separation included in every station?
No. Dynamic Separation combines Walk Through stations with an exit module and a suitable layout. This requirement must be defined during planning.
Can I upgrade my existing Nedap installation?
Send AGYE your equipment references and configuration. We will check upgrade options with Agrisys without assuming that every component is compatible.
