News & Nooyen

Interview with Alwin Koobs, manager of the pig department at Schothorst Feed Research.

During Eurotier, from Tuesday 15 to Friday 18 November, visit our stand in Hall 16, stand number G-03. We will present our latest solutions aimed at improving hygiene, well-being and results through the following highlights.

On 20 March 2021, a fire destroyed the farrowing house of EARL Riou Jérôme in the municipality of Plounéventer (Finistêre department in Brittany, France). After this tragic event, Jérôme moved on and used this opportunity to restructure his farm. You can see here the progress of his project that he showcased during the open day on 20 May.

The percentage of piglet lay-ons can be reduced by about 80% with an additional investment in a movable floor of $300 to $400 per farrowing crate. This additional investment is recovered quickly.

The PIB program is a three-year collaboration between the Dutch government and a cluster of Dutch companies and knowledge institutions in the Argentinian chain of pig farming. Nooyen is part of this collaboration.

As a supplier to the food chain, it is important to keep society running, together with our dealers and customers: a vital sector that must remain active and to which we contribute in a responsible manner. That’s why we ask for your understanding and help. We have taken necessary steps to comply with the recommendations of the health authorities to protect our employees, customers and suppliers.

The Nooyen Poly Deck is a polymer composite grid floor, suitable for piglets and fattening pigs. The Poly Deck floor is particularly hygienic thanks to the closely spaced structure of the material and the open layout. The floors are also available with a closed area.

On the 7th and 8th November we organized our Dealer Days 2019. The program about sow & pig farming, hygiene, animal welfare and results gave us all a lot of extra information and food for thought about the approach of the global markets to the future.

More space for the sow, less dead piglets Allowing sows to move freely will not have a negative impact on the survival of newborn piglets. Practical experiences gained from the use of Nooyen’s WellFarrowing confirm this.
