So he has developed a concept where he can simply pull up to his dry sow arc and activate a quick release lever and deliver food into each hut. The following data will be collected from both the trial feed delivery system and current dry sow feeding system:. BPEX Knowled...

http://blog.pork.ahdb.org.uk/2015/03/waterquality-and-availability-are-key.html
