• Saves Feed. With hand feeding, there's a natural ten
dency to over feed. This system dispenses an accurate,
controlled amount each time to each sow. Feeding sows
based on litter size during farrowing can also help you to
realize addltonal feed savings.

Automatically Feeding
Pre-Nursery Age Pigs
A New Idea That Can
Let You Cut 60% Of
Baby Pig Losses.
Up to 10 pigs - not more than 10 -
can be placed on this feeder until
old enough to digest dry feed
without scouring: about 3 or 4
weeks of age. We do not
recommend placing pigs less
than 2 to 4 days of age on the
feeder. Pigs must have sow's
colostrum before going on the
feeder.

Water Quality
Clinics Planned
YORK If you have a prob
lem with your (Linking water, you
may consider buying water
treatment equipment. Shopping
for the right equipment can be
confusing, and owning and oper
ating it can be expensive.
‘Testing your water and defin
ing your water quality needs are
the first step in correcting a water
quality problem” says Dr. Bill
Sharpe, water specialist at Penn
State University. Many labs in
Pennsylvania provide water test
ing service. Interpretation of these
results, however, is often not pro
vided. A water-quality specialist
can assist you in selecting the
necessary water tests, interpreting
the results, and suggesting correc
tive action for water-quality
problems.
On March 23, York County
residents will have a cjiance to
learn more about managing their
