Management of hoppers with liquid diets[Management]Carles Casanovas![]() Since concentrated feeds were first used it has been possible to see that mixing them with water has certain advantages. Probably the most important are a higher consumption and an improved exploitation. |
Feed wastage[Management]Carles Casanovas![]() Regardless of these causes we often waste food needlessly. The animals do not consume everything that arrives to the farm. |

Stimulation and mating of sows in stalls (II)[Management]Carles Casanovas![]() So far we have seen different options for retaining the males and for stimulating the stalled sows that maximize speed and stimulus. Once stimulated, now we are going to mate them. |
