G-station
Practical Solutions for Modern Gestation

Make a difference in production and profitability with the TEAM Electronic Sow Feeding (ESF) system.  TEAM ESF is a proven, realistic alternative for housing sows in large groups.  

The TEAM G-station allows the sow to enter the workstation from the front and leave at the rear.  Movement through the G-station is a natural progression.  Each animal's Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tag communicates with the G-station for proper dispensing of feed.  Entrance and exit gates provide the sow time to enjoy her meal without competition from other sows.  Water is delivered to the sow during her meal to encourage clean-up and shorten eating time.  Feed waste is practically eliminated.

Gain Complete Control of Feed Rations and Feed Savings
Provided Only by the TEAM System
