An Electronic Sow Feeder system generally provides a single (or very few) feeding station(s) for a large group of sows (typically 40 to 60 sows per station). The sows must eat sequentially, one after the other, from the same station. Once a sow enters the station the entrance gate locks behind her and she is identified by means of a transponder in her ear tag. The computer-controlled feeder allots her a specific amount of feed, dropped into the feed bowl over a limited period of time.
During the feed drop, and for several minutes afterward, the entrance gate remains locked so that other sows may not enter. The sow may leave at any time, ending the dispensing of feed and unlocking the entrance for the next sow. The computer records the amount of feed that has been dispensed to each sow – not the amount actually eaten – and allocates any undispensed allotment to a subsequent entrance by the same sow that same day, or to her next day’s feed
