“A career project based on the optimization of production costs and the valorization of its products.”
A farm equipped with the Multifeeder concept to manage the sows liquid feed, and automatic dry feed distribution in post-weaning.
The farmer, Arnaud Collette set up in 2017 with his parents on the family farm in Merdrignac, in the Côtes d’Armor region. With the construction of a farrowing buildingof 210 sows and a feed mill unit he launched his career project based on optimizing production costs and the valorization of his products.
Arnaud favored liquid feeding for sows, and automatic dry feeding in post-weaning (Asserva).
The liquid feed MD2 concept from Asserva make it possible to prepare both the large volumes of liquid feed needed for fattening and precision dispensing for small volumes as in farrowing pens.
No multiphase for piglets, but two feeding chains, one per batch (two rooms of 300 places) linked to the silos dedicated to post-weaning. “With a four-batch system, two silos are sufficient to distribute the three feeds needed (during the post weaning duration – 3 types of feed ). The liquid feed system consists of two 1,800-liter tanks. “In the farrowing part, only one tank is used. Its small size, combined with small diameter pipes, allows for precision feeding,” says the breeder. For the larger volumes distributed in gestation and fattening, the two tanks work alternately in preparation and distribution mode, to ensure continuity in the monitoring of meals. “Germain Robillard from Vetagri (feed formula consulting company) was the one who made the decision to manufacture our feed. He also helped us with our stock requirements and established a consumption forecast to organize our soya stock in particular.”
All feeds except for the first age are manufactured in the feed mill built at the same time as the farrowing building. The particularity of the installation is to have the totality of the raw material silos outside the building; the building is only for the heart of the feed mill unit (milling blending and transfer).

Segoviano
New installation for Asserva in Spain in the Cochinillo Segoviano farm located in the Segovia region.
A farm with a capacity of 630 sows with 114 farrowing places and a 3-band management.
Since 2018, the gestation part of the farm, divided into 6 parks with 38 sows per park, has been equipped with the Selfifeeder concept, allowing the management of the feeding of gestating sows in freedom in a self-service area where access and consumption are controlled.
In April 2022, the farm upgraded its farrowing feeding equipment with the installation of 114 SMCs with centralized PC management. (Sow Meal Control is a feeding concept with a feeder equipped with an intelligent and connected sensor, allowing individual monitoring of the sows’ feed).
This modernisation is being carried out with the aim of improving animal performance and growth, with the objective of upgrading the farm to 750 sows.

New fitting in Spain for Asserva
Installation of the Optimat Air concept – Multiphase pneumatic transfer in the Los Cortijos farm with 18 rooms for 21,000 piglets from 6 to 30 kgs.
A feed distribution of 12 tonnes per day with the use of 5 different feeds including 9 storage silos and 1 containing a special feed.
Pneumatic transfer rate: 1 kg / second or 3.6 tonnes / hour.
The ASSERVA development in China still going in the good way, the chinese farmers and the the chinese livestock companies request new solutions and high technologies. ASSERVA company takes market shares. The biosecurity and the feed cost saving are the main topics at this period. One of the national livestock company leader chose ASSERVA solution « LOGIMAT » system to transfer automaticly the feeds from the silo site to each building silo. The LOGIMAT system permits by Air pressure system to transfer via PC the feed to a long distance ( until 400 m) with high feed flow (until 4 tons per hour). In this unit, the LOGIMAT system transfers from 12 departure silos to 23 destination silos. The air pressure system permits to avoid any contamination between 2 typs of feed, the transfer pipes are always empty between 2 distributions. The LOGIMAT system, with its software permits the operator to select the silo to use to load destination silo. The distribution will stop according to a sensor installed in each destination silo : « An efficient system with a simple using »
Thanks to the customer for choosing the ASSERVA solution.
After some weeks of installation, the liquid feeding system for 20 000 fatteners is now under commissioning by our chinese ASSERVA technician. The system is divided in 2 parts with 2 kitchens.
One kitchen will deliver 100 000 L of soup every day with the MD2 technology. 2 preparation/distribution tanks will be used to feed the animals. Even with this important quantities to distribute ASSERVA insures an high level a precision in distribution. Our distribution pump is equipped with frequency controller managed automatically according to the quantities and the distance of each trough. We will keep you updated with technical results and videos. According to our experience in an other chinese fattening building equipped, the feed conversion ratio was going down from 2.9 to 2.46 ! We are sure that this liquid feeding system will have the same impact.
Asserva is really proud to be the official supplier for Intelligent feeding system into Panda Pig park. This farm is based at Jinhua in Zhejiang province (South East of China, at 2h by train of Shanghai).
It will manage 300 sows of Panda pigs with their litters until fattening. The Panda pig is a famous chinese local pig genetic with really tasty meat.
The farm is a part of a Panda Pig theme park with restaurants, hotels, halls, garden parks, gift shops, etc. « It’s like the Disney land for the Panda Pig. Disneyland is the park of the mouse, right ? Why not a park for the pig ? » It’s completly true, and Asserva was choosen to manage the feeding system.
Asserva installed Sow Meal Control system with a PC centralisation. In that way, the farmer will control and centralized the feeding distribution.
It will be the most « Elegant » and visited farm equipped by Asserva.

By the end of the decade at the latest, all the pig farms in Canada will have to follow the new regulations regarding animal welfare. In particular, gestating sows will have to be housed in group, just like they are in Europe. Farmers are looking for innovative feeding solutions to manage their sows, for their gestating and farrowing unit.
In this context, Mario Mathieu is installing the MATERNEO system in its farowing house in Sainte-Sophie de Levrard (Quebec). MATERNEO is the only system in themarket that can manage individually and precisely the feeding and watering of lactating sows. Its unique sensors, at the bottom of the trough, manages the distribution of the feed and water, in small and always fresh doses. No more feed wasted and troughs to clean ! MATERNEO is the guarantee of an optimum lactation, for heavier and more homogenous piglets, and sows more than ready for their next cycle !
As always, our partner Jolco, the dealer of Asserva in the region of Quebec, is responsible for the sale, installation and maintenance of this project.

The Asserva sales team was invited to visit an impressive new project, on the farm La Rabardière, in Brielles (France). This 3 000 weaning places building is equipped with the pneumatic Optimat Air multiphase distribution. The Optimat allows to prepare, mix and distribute an individual ration for each feeder, adapted to the age of the animals, with transitions possible between several feeds, to avoid stress and improves digestibility.
This Optimat Air can distribute water with the feed preparation, in order to have a wet feed distribution, with a personnalized dilution. This wet feed improves zootechnical results.
The Optimat allows me to work with extremely low dilution rates, and thus have excellent growth rates. The appetite of animals is truly amazing! ” explains the farmer, Arnaud Brielle.
Arnaud is also building a new farrowing house, with the Materneo feeding and watering system for the sows, opting for a connected farm, ready for tomorrow’s challenges!

The quantities distributed are controlled automatically with high level of precision. From the PC and from the Asserva App. on mobile phone, the farmer controls and checks the liquid feed preparation and the distribution according to the needs. Asserva with 40 years of experience has the science and the knowledge to install the liquid feed system in any size of farms for any type of pigs everywhere.
Our team is really excited to install this large project ! You can learn more about the Multifeeder by visiting the dedicated page on our website.
Jolco, the local distributor of the Asserva solutions in Quebec, recently commissioned the Materneo system in the Porc du Moine farm. Located in Plessiville, this farrow-to-finish family farm of 520 sows
invests in a new building to follow the rules of the Code of Practice for the Care and Handling of Pigs, especially regarding the management of the sows in group.
They choose Asserva for their feeding systems in the gestation unit, with the Selfifeeder, and in the farrowing house, with the Materneo, an innovative system to individually manage feed and water intake of the sows.
Here are a few pictures of the farrowing house, including the Materneo system. You can learn more about the Materneo by visiting the dedicated page on our website.
The new state-of-the-art National Pig Unit is located in Leeds (United Kingdom), and is, as stated in the University of Leeds website, « a leading research facility for pig nutrition, behaviour, health and production system research. » This new unit increased the capacity of the farm from 200 to 660 sow.
In the weaners unit of the farm, the pens are fitted with the Pig-Insight connected feeders and drinkers, which allows to individually follow and manage water and feed consumption. A weighing system installed on the drinkers also makes it possible to register and follow the growth of the animals over the time.
Pig-Insight is available for piglets in farrowing units (weight control), weaning and finishing pigs (weight, feed and water control), allowing to have a complete traceability during the whole life of the animal.
Moreover, using an innovative algorithm developed with the IFIP (French Institute of Pig), Pig-Insight can also detect pathologies early and individually, to contribute to improve the sanitary conditions of the rooms.
More than 100 Pig-Insight systems are already running in France and abroad.

The Romillé experimental station changes their simple dry feeding lines to the Asserva efficient pneumatic distribution technology, for a precision and flexibility improvement.
A high level of feeding system throughout their new farm. This is the choice made by the center experimental IFIP with its new pneumatic distribution system!
An installation equipped with the Optimat concept with a unique pneumatic distribution with eight-way barrel valves. In order to facilitate the feeding precision, IFIP chooses the pneumatic transfer. A choice explained by its capacity to distribute feed meals on more long distances while improving the feed formula homogeneity and limiting the contamination between different formulas. Weighed and blender upstream with the Asserva Optimat system, the feed meal is then distributed through a pipeline network thanks to air industrial surpressor. In the rooms, Asserva eight-way barrel valves with distribution cyclones are using to deliver the feed to each feeder. This Optimat system can use 37 different raw feeds for 272 different feeders to obtain a feed weighing precision of 50 grams.
