How do they affect operations?
With limited access to processing infrastructure as the industry contracts into fewer facilities, piggeries are faced with the challenge and costs associated with the transport of their animals to remote locations.
Occurrences of over supply, combined with Australia’s drought conditions, have led to fluctuations in the farm gate price. At the same time, consumers are becoming more interested in the ethical treatment of animals and the supply chain and process from start to finish.
With unpredictable global feed prices, hinging on the ups and downs of international supply and related excise/taxes, the industry has never been more primed to take control of inputs with an automated solution.
How we can help:
The fully automated, end-to-end feed systems designed, installed and commissioned by AFSystems are directly targeted at managing the unpredictability of feed prices along with recipe control, antibiotic distribution and even social behavior's.
While it may seem a side-benefit to controlling your feed inputs and processes, possibly the most impressive change to your facility is in the improved animal conditions, behaviour, and overall health outcomes.
With the rise of conscientious consumers, this factor is becoming a critical and highly visible one.
Our systems:
An AFSystem puts the power back in your hands, allowing for self-manufactured feed recipes – with specific nutrition and medicinal values – to be applied and adjusted seasonally.
Our systems are equipped with the latest automated instrumentation, offering remote commissioning and access while enabling start-to-finish feed processing on-site.
Compared to traditional systems like Flexi or rigid augers – which have higher maintenance – our closed loop solutions can be designed to produce much less noise, leading to better animal health and operational control.
Penning and accommodation are taken into account in the design phase, while our chain systems allow feeds to be transferred a lot further, delivering more extensive scale and lower animal impact.
