Supplementary feeding of piglets from day 2 after birth is about more than simply placing a feeding bowl in the pen or starting up an automatic milk system. The best results are achieved through the right farrowing house management, a clear feeding strategy, and the Pigipro product that best suits the needs of the piglets.

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.
