New tech for swine producers launched by MetaFarms

 

According to MetaFarms, the new program makes it possible for the swine producers to gain daily visibility into their sow barns, while managers can make timely data-driven decisions through snapshot views of key performance metrics.

Furthermore, the recently launched program offers swine producers real-time oversight across their production system by capturing daily information through their mobile application and provides robust integration with electronic sow feeders (ESFs).

“You can’t manage what you don’t measure. MetaFarms is about leveraging data and using innovation to provide valuable insights to livestock producers,” said Brian Parker, chief operating officer for MetaFarms. “Our goal with Sow Enterprise is to provide a solution for daily recording while improving efficiency, accuracy and ultimately providing valuable metrics in a snapshot view for real-time, data-driven management.”

The mobile app displays sow history and enables recording of daily events onsite, reducing costly accuracy mistakes, and eliminating the need for a data entry bureau. In addition to true offline functionality, the app also features data validation warnings and can be customized specifically for the information each producer collects. Integration with electronic sow feeders helps eliminate redundant data entry while improving data accuracy.

The company has added that it will continue to work closely with industry leaders Nedap, AP and others.

The upgrade also includes a new performance snapshot providing a variety of metrics for tracking performance from day-to-day and week-to-week across sow units including services, weaning and farrowing. The snapshot enables managers to see at-a-glance at how their farms are doing and react for real-time decision making.
