Estrus detection with group-housed sows gets automated
A sow approaches a boar within a group gestation pen. The pen design allows nose-to-nose contact between the animals, allowing for pheromone exchange to trigger heat response if the sow is open. The technology records the number and length of interactions and calculates whether the sow’s behavior indicates she is in heat.Photo: Nedap.
