Controlling the feed flow is critical in a wet/dry feeder to ensure best performance. Making certain your feeder is capable of managing feed flow to different kinds of rations, such as mash or pellets, but also different sorts of feed consistencies and granularities will help ensure a good performance in the feeder.

When you have a good wet/dry feeder with feeder nipples that work well and are capable of controlling water flow in the feeder, the sources of water in the feeder need to be accounted for when planning the number of supplemental water sources in your pen.

We are pleased to welcome Alfredo Lima De Castro as the new General Manager of Crystal Spring Hog Equipment Brasil . Alfredo joins our team after many years with Novagri and we're honored and excited to work with him moving forward. Crystal Spring Brazil has the full support of Crystal Spring and we look forward to supporting pork producers in Brazil and throughout Central and South America far into the future. For questions, please contact our team at info@cshe.com.

When working with wet/dry feeders, the water nipples in the feeder MUST be the primary source of water to your pigs. We want them to drink water from the feeder every time they are thirsty, because every time they drink, they eat, and that will increase feed intake and overall performance. Never thought about this and have questions? Contact our team at info@cshe.com, WhatsApp/Phone +1 (402) 227-8228 or visit our website at www.crystalspring.com.

Controlling water flow in your wet/dry feeder is the most important aspect of management. Feeder nipples that cannot keep water flow at the correct rate or the minimum rate for the size and age of the pig tend to create problems - from flooded pans to stale feed – and negatively impact ADG, FCR, and overall performance. Never thought about this and have questions? Contact our team of experts at info@cshe.com, WhatsApp/Phone +1 (402) 227-8228 or visit our website at www.crystalspring.com

When selecting a feeder size, it’s important to consider the stocking density of your pen while remembering that pigs eat 20% faster on a wet/dry feeder allowing for more pigs per linear inch/cm of feeder. So if you are working with wet/dry feeders, make sure to place the correct amount of pigs per space (linear inches/cm) to ensure good performance. Never thought about this and have questions?

Our ad-libitum wet/dry sow feeder allows sows to choose between eating dry feed or mixing feed with water during farrowing and lactation. Its integrated Adaptive-Flow nipple is placed low in the feeder to provide ample water while minimizing wastage or accumulation. Research shows that sows fed on our wet/dry feeders return to estrus faster and produce heavier litters with higher pre-wean survival rates. Wet/dry feeding also helps maintains a sow’s condition and reduces back fat loss during lactation compared to dry feeders. For more information and data about how our products improve performance, please see the Research page on our website. Model Features: :arrow_right: Works with most standard crate models and manufacturers :arrow_right: Adaptive-Flow nipple technology provides consistent water flow from the nipple, even with variable barn water pressures :arrow_right: EZ-Adjust technology provides precise and repeatable feed flow control in 1/16” (1,5 mm) increments for individual sow’s needs :arrow_right: Easy to clean with open back and alley access Custom configurations are available to meet specific production, layout, and installation needs.

Always place supplemental water sources on the opposite side of your wet/dry feeders. This will allow your pen's “dirty” area to be farther from the feeder and will allow pigs to only look for supplemental water for an extra drink or to cool down on hot days, allowing the feeder nipples to be the primary source of water for your pigs. Because remember… when pigs drink – they eat! Never thought about this and have questions?

We work with pig producers all over the world and while they come from different countries, speak different languages, and may seem very different at first glance, we’ve discovered that they all have a few things in common: 1. They care for the health and well-being of the pigs. Every pig farmer we’ve met is truly concerned for the pigs under his or her care and is always learning and improving their animal husbandry skills. 2. They want their pigs to grow as fast and as efficiently as possible. Every hog producer we’ve met wants each pig to get its full daily feed ration without wasting valuable resources. 3. They take pride in their work. Last but not least, every pig farmer we’ve met takes great pride in the responsibility they feel to feed their neighbors all over the world. This resonates with us because it was our own experience with hog farming that led us to create the original wet/dry feeder 40 years#farmer Sharing our partners’ sentiments (no matter where they are in the world) and understanding their concerns helps us listen, exchange ideas, and provide creative solutions to make raising pigs easier and better.

Need extra feed capacity? Feeder hopper extensions are available for many of our feeders in different configurations. - Extended hopper feeders (X Version) increase hopper capacity up to 80%. - Pyramid hopper extensions can be added for additional capacity - Combine pyramid hopper with X Version feeder for maximized hopper capacity!

Any good biosecurity "prevention strategy” goes beyond tracking workers and visitors to make sure they don’t bring viruses into the farm—it also ensures barns and equipment can be effectively cleaned to keep sickness out. That’s why, in recent years, Crystal Spring has been focused on engineering innovative equipment to aid farmers in their biosecurity. For example, in response to the PEDs outbreak, we redesigned the feed shelf in our Finishing and Wean-to-Finish Wet/Dry Feeders (for the first time in 20 years!) to ensure our feeders could be completely cleaned between herds. The new innovative flat shelf on our WF2 Feeders is easier to clean, simpler to manage, and can be accessed by pigs of all sizes... from 8lbs to 280lbs!

Many manufacturers advertise their feeders as wet/dry, but a generic nipple dripping water into the feed is not wet/dry feeding. Our Adaptive-Flow drinker nipples simplify wet/dry feeder management, reduce water and feed wastage, and ensure that each pig gets the correct daily water intake by creating consistent water flow, even with barn variable water pressures.

Did you know we make dry feeders?? We may be best known as the creators of The Original Wet/Dry feeders, but we also create innovative dry feeders like our WF7 model. This dry finishing feeder can be used in both grow-to-finish and wean-to-finish facilities. It features wide feeder spaces that provide ample shoulder room for even the largest market weight pigs while its low-lip trough allows it to be used for pigs as small as 8 lb (3,5 kg). It also comes with our EZ-Adjust technology that creates easy, repeatable, and precise feed flow control.

We always say the most important part of our job is to be with the customers and listen in order to provide the best solutions… and this situation showed exactly that. When we first started supplying nursery feeders in Brazil, we faced some challenges getting the performance expected out of the feeders. We knew numbers could be better and we knew we had to find a way to get there. The answer (as usual) was found in listening to our customers. Finding a solution took an open-minded approach and a lot of exchange of ideas with local and experienced nursery producers. We learned that we needed to adapt the way we presented our product line and change the way we taught producers how to manage the feeders. When you listen to producers and accept the fact that this joint approach is the best way to solve issues and find solutions things become much easier and more logical. With a reviewed and tested new way to manage our nursery feeders and a new approach on how we train producers, we were able to get Brazilian nursery producers to achieve amazing results with our G6 feeder line. Especially when it came to addressing their goal of reducing feed waste and improving Average Daily Gain (ADG). Since then, our business development team has taken this same approach and experience to other parts of the world. It was a valuable “lesson learned” about how to enter a new culture and the importance of staying open to new ways of doing things. The constant learning is one of the most motivating parts of my job. And, believe it or not, the pigs and the producers are my best teachers. #Pigs #Hogs #PigFarming #PigProducer #PigProduction #PorkProduction #HogEquipment #PorkProducer #Pork #CrystalSpring #CSHE #agriculture

A better start for a better finish begins in the nursery. Research shows that piglets started on our wet/dry feeders consume more feed than those fed with traditional dry feeders. Providing clean feed and fresh water at the feeder allows the pigs to mix the water and feed themselves—essentially creating their own gruel and simplifying management for you—which helps them transition easier from sow’s milk to solid feed. This results in increased gains and helps reduce fall-behinds throughout the turn. Questions? Contact our team at info@cshe.com or WhatsApp/Phone +1 (402) 227-8228.

Everyone loves a good remodel So this week's customer story from Matt Joyce (our Business Development Manager for most of the U.S.) should be a crowd-pleaser... When Matt received a call from a customer in Oklahoma needing to update/upgrade his sow farm, he knew he needed to visit the farm himself in order to create an effective solution. In addition to having issues with feed tubes in the breeding and gestation barns, the customer also needed to update/upgrade the farrowing feeders and farrowing crate doors. After several site visits to evaluate the situation, Matt worked closely with Tom (our Product Manager) and Todd (our Executive Director) to engineer a custom solution. They created samples to show the customer how the solution would work and to make sure it would satisfy both him and his production team. In the end, our team was able to provide new customized feed tubes/gates as well as new farrowing feeders to complete the remodel project. The customer was very pleased and excited to have a team work through the problem in a collaborative way in order to come up with a solution that will benefit his farm for years to come. For Matt, the process of this project was fulfilling—being able to start with a concern and work through the process and timeline while providing support and a quality product is exactly why Crystal Spring has been trusted with these types of projects for more than 40 years.

For the next few weeks, we’d like to share some of our favorite customer stories… starting with this roller coaster from Terry Marx, our Business Development Manager for Western Canada and the U.S: Terry was working with a long-time customer who was building a new Wean-to-Finish barn when they ran into an issue. The customer originally purchased Crystal Spring’s newest Wean-to-Finish feeder with the flat shelf for its increased biosecurity and simplified management, but once they were installed, he became concerned that the shelf’s stability and strength weren’t enough due to his feeder’s larger size and feed capacity. He also had some concerns about pigs getting their heads stuck in the feeders between the feed space dividers and feed shelf. Our initial solution to these issues was to provide new feed shelves with additional reinforcement to strengthen the shelf, as well as additional guards for the feed pan to eliminate any potential issues with pigs getting their heads stuck in the feeder. However, the customer was still hesitant about the new feeder model even with the additional reinforcement and extra feed pan guards and straps. To set his mind at ease, we ultimately decided to replace all of his feeders with new ones in the old model, which he was more familiar and comfortable with. Even though the customer didn’t end up keeping the feeders with the new shelf style, he was very happy with the process and the overall outcome. And despite being disappointed that the new feeder model didn’t work out for the customer, Terry felt good about the fact that he and the team didn’t stop looking for solutions until the customer was satisfied. Because the fact is, Crystal Spring doesn’t exist to sell feeders. We exist to help producers and growers find solutions.
