Sounds interesting? Here are some details of the new products and technologies showcased at SPACE 2021:
Automatic preparation of powdered chlorine solution: (Hall 4, Stand C99)
DCCNA is an inexpensive chlorine molecule frequently used to disinfect water in livestock breeding and is renowned for good results. However, it is unstable, inclined to quickly dissipate and lead to the emission of chlorine gas. Granulo-Pack by Aquadis provides a solution to these disadvantages as it prepares a small amount of solution a few times a day, thus giving a constant concentration.
Gwiz: Automatic ovulation prediction (Hall 4, stand B41)
Gwiz can accurately detect when a sow is in oestrus and predict the sow's ovulation period by analysing the temperature measured at the vulva and the anus in just a few seconds. Gwiz lets you precisely target the ovulation period, optimising the fertility and prolificity rate.
Fertiboar technology to increase boar utilisation (Hall 8, Stand C40)
PIC's Fertiboar technology facilitates the prediction of boar semen quality based on testicular ultrasound measures before the initial semen collection. It enables producers to identify boars with the best semen quality and use those boars for artificial insemination.
Don't miss out on what promises to be an extremely fascinating and informative exposition.
