Balance: losses less than 8 per cent!

During Agriflanders 2013 - the trade fair for and by agriculture in Gent  (Ghent), Belgium - Nooyen Pig Flooring received many enthusiastic responses from pig farmers who have now been utilising the Balance Frame for four to five years.

In West Flanders, a batch farrowing system which allows farrowing to occur at fixed intervals is widely used. Farrowing compartments comprising more than 100 farrowing pens are no longer an exception.

In addition, pig farmers in this Belgian region realise a very high number of live born piglets, which is evident from the pig farmers’ responses. In combination with as many as 16 live born piglets on occasions - thanks to Balance® - these farmers manage to maintain losses between 6 and 8 per cent. This truly is a top performance!
