The ALFFcup system is a feeding concept designed to provide additional milk to piglets alongside the sow’s milk. The number of cups installed in the farrowing crates does not have to match the number of farrowing crates. The system is also based on keeping all piglets in the same week group (and within the same farrowing department). The major advantage of keeping piglets in the same week group is reducing the risk of disease transmission between groups in the farrowing department.

During winter, maintaining the growth and health of young calves is a significant challenge.
