OSTENDORF NORTH GERMANY
mechthild and horst ostendorf operate a family farm with fattening pigs,
bull calves and a biogas plant. With the construction of the 750-sow barn, pig
production is now carried out in a closed herd system. The new sow facility
consists of 2 connected buildings; between the buildings is a very bright 3 meter
wide hallway. The size of the new barn is 60 by 60 meters. Due to the square
layout, some operation efficiencies have been realized.

INTEC MAC for healthy animals
and efficient production
According to European legislation,
all sows need to be kept in group
housing systems beginning in 2013.
Electronic Sow Feeding (ESF) is one
of the most popular systems for
group housing in many EU countries
like Germany, the Netherlands,
Denmark, Spain and France.
System INTEC MAC
The mannebeCK® esf system works
well for family farms as small as 70
sows as well as for large operations
housing thousands of sows. especially
in renovations, the flexible design
of the inTeC maC can be a huge
Open design: a special training program simplifies integrating gilts.
advantage. The use of the inTeC maC
can lead to a significant reduction of
feed costs on the farm.
Technology INTEC MAC
all sows are tagged by an passive
transponder (rfiD) and can go
into the esf feeding station to be
individually fed. feeding is based on
one or more feed curves. individual
feeding variations are also possible.
The mannebeCK® inTeC maC has
three different operation modes: one
normal mode and two modes for
training.
Ear tag-transponder:
- Passive
- Small and light
- Reusable
- Corresponds fully with ISO 11784 and 11785
Management INTEC MAC
important management features
like training gilts, sorting animals
or data backup are supported by
the maC software and hardware.
operation is comfortable and easy
by computer, using the “Pig-maC”
software. all animal related inputs
can also be done on the nomaD
handheld computer using the rfiD
reader for identification. Data export
is possible as a microsoft excel file or
complete data exchange using the iso
agrinet interface. With the inTeC maC
software, management gets much
easier and labor can be reduced.
Overview of the benefits :
- healthier animals by individual
feeding
- flexibility and less space needed
in the barn
- animal welfare corresponds with
eu regulation
- reduction of labour by
automation
- fully integrated with maC
network and iso agrinet
- improved management by
individual animal identification
and computerized feeding
Double inlet sensors:
The feeding station’s double inlet sensors admit only
sows who have not consumed their daily feed ration.
Close sensor:
The entrance door closes fast when a
sow passes.
On the NEW MAC station controller, many functions
and settings are also presented visually.
Double exit sensors:
Double exit sensors confirm if a sow has left
the feeding station or has backed up to the
feed trough.
The INTEC-MAC is guided by MILAN-Nomad.
Stainless steel trough:
The back of the trough can be removed for cleaning.
Selection:
Easy management and less work through the
combination of automatic selection and weekly
work plan.

Rafü MAC/HD
Due to increased performance
levels in piglet production, feeding
technology is gaining more and
more importance. The lactation
potential of the sows should
be completely utilized during
farrowing. Dispensing small
amounts of feed to the sow over
several feeding periods throughout
the day helps to promote higher
feed intake while also helping to
avoid the loss of body weight.
The INTEC MAC is controlled by the MILAN-Nomad.
Customized feed curves can help to
minimize feed costs. avoiding sow
weight losses during farrowing saves
significantly more feed needed later in
gestation to bring the sow back into
good body condition.
all maC units can be operated by
mobile devices, like smart phones,
tablets and the milan nomad
handheld.
Return on investment for RAFÜ:
Reduction of loss of body weight with RAFÜ (Haus Düsse 2007) 10,8 kg
Feed conversion for back fat of sows
(20 kg higher feed intake in lactation)
1:7 = 70 kg
Feed needed to compensate the higher loss of body weight 50 kg
Cost for 50 kg of feed (0,5*30 €/100 kg) € 15,-
Cycles in farrowing room per year 10
Financial advantage (10 cycles * €15,-) € 150,-
Return on investment for RAFÜ is about two years.
This does not take into account the lower cost for gilt replacements and for reduced labor.

Rondomat 3S
The Rondomat is an automatic,
sensor-operated nursery feeder.
RondoFlow
The RondoFlow Feeder
automatically lets your piglets eat
what they need.
Properties of the feeder
- 6 agitators instead of 1
- feed only dispenses where the
animals are
- Can be installed in stall divider or in
the stall
- for animals from 6 to 50 Kg
- up to 70 animals per feeder
- up to 20 animals can eat at the same
time
- shoulder ring ensures that piglets do
not lay in the trough
- feeder for dry feeding, liquid feeding
and wet feeding
- suitable for flour, grain and pellets
- feeder is securely positioned by its
weight
unlike standard feeders, the
rondomat uses 10 sensors in the
feeder’s trough, to detect whether
it is full or empty. as soon as the
trough is empty, the feeder’s control
dispenses feed and water according to
the settings made by the farmer. This
provides small piglets with immediate
access to fresh feed without the need
to learn how to operate the agitator.
The moisture of the feed can be preset
between semi-dry and liquid.
Return on investment for the Rondomat compared to dry/wet feeder:
Düsse 2007
+35 g DWG x 42 Days = 1,5 kg higher piglet weight per animal
1,5 kg x 60 piglets per Rondomat = 90 kg higher weight gain per cycle
90 kg x € 2 per kg body weight = € 180,- higher income per cycle
€ 180, - x 8 cycles per year = € 1440,- higher income per year
- easy to clean by removing the funnel
- no feeder adjustments required
• Small piglets: automatic small
amounts of feed result from small
movements of the agitators
• Large piglets: more movement of
agitators produces more food
Advantages:
- higher daily weight gain
- better feed conversion
- no feed spillage
- Top trough hygiene
- better feed conversion

Dry Feeding System METRA
PigTek provides two different types
of dry feeding systems: METRA
and METRAMIX.
Automatic dry feeding systems
offers big savings in everyday
labor and are used in all areas of
the pig industry. The high quality
Dispenser with
teardrop ball
helps pig farmers to
accurately dispense a
pre-determined amount
of feed. Translucent
feeder provides easy
check of its contents.
PigTek METRA drive unit is made
from stainless steel. This offers long
life and excellent feed hygiene.
The capacity of the METRA can be
adapted to the farm’s requirements.
METRA
feed creates the highest costs in pig
production. Therefore smart feed
delivery solutions are always welcome.
The meTra system will exactly
deliver the required amount of feed,
just at the right time. besides a time
switch, the new meTra ConTroller
includes a maximum run time control,
an operation control and the option to
add an automatic feed release winch.
it is also possible to use one meTra
chain as a filling system for one or
more feeding system chains. as a
standard, the meTra chain is filled by
an auger system to allow the meTra
system to provide longer feeding
system distances.
METRA MIX
The meTra miX scale-based phase
feeding system is able to mix a
ration for each valve. This way the
composition of the feed can be
adapted to the changing needs
of the animal. as a result, the best
growth rate and low feed costs can be
achieved. Calculation of feed amount
and composition is based on age
and weight of the animals. inside the
room, the valves are operated by two
air hoses.
Ventilation
a well controlled climate increases
the performance of the animals. The
animals grow better and are healthier.
a good climate control also leads to
considerable savings on ventilation
and heating costs. PigTek has good
ventilation solutions for every
challenge. The controls feature a lot
of options and are easy to use. PigTek
offers a wide range of fans, air inlets,
chimneys and motors. all system
components are designed to perform
in barns and are carefully planned to

PORCON® farrowing pen
The PorCon® farrowing pen is specially
developed for modern pig farms. The
inverted bottom tubes of the stall
provide a spacious and comfortable
bed for the sow. The piglet guard
incorporated into the pen’s design
ensures that the sow cannot lay down
suddenly. The piglets have enough
time to move away from the sow the
moment they notice that sow wants to
lie down. The design of the PorCon®
LAAKE® farrowing pen
The laaKe® farrowing pen with its choice
of straight or diagonal configuration is
the result of experience and innovative
farrowing pen makes it possible for the
piglets to reach the sow’s udder without
obstacles. They can drink the first
important colostrum milk from the start.
thinking. The laaKe® farrowing pen
is adjustable in length, width and
diagonal angle. specially-designed bars
at the side of the pen help to guide the
sow in laying down and to allow piglets
enough time to move out of the way
of the sow. The pen’s design optimally
positions the sow for nursing without
obstacles while also making it easy for
the farmer to reach and care for the
sow. The laaKe® farrowing pen is a
good solution for the modern pig farm.
PIG FLOOR
non-porous plastic floor is easier
to clean! our floor slats are made
of injection-molded polypropylene
plastic and are non-porous with
rounded corners and edges to make
them more animal friendly. The weight
limit of the sow slat type aKs is 350 kg
per slat. These floor pieces interlock to
form a nearly flat farrowing floor for
your pigs.
The NON-POROUS PLASTIC and the TRIANGULAR
SLAT PROFILE make the floor easy to clean and
sanitize.
Manure easily passes through the slats.
