The weaning phase presents massive health challenges for piglets. An often underestimated vector for diarrheal diseases is drinking water: conventional dosing pumps flush cleaning agents ineffectively into the animals' stomachs during peak drinking times, causing fluctuating pH levels. MS Schippers demonstrates how the MS SmartPump solves this problem. Through a patented rest-phase control, biofilm is targeted directly while the animals are sleeping. During active periods, real-time adjusted acid dosing ensures a stable pH level. The result: healthy gastrointestinal tracts, vital piglets, and a drastic reduction in medication – field-tested and fully automated.
