‘Great pork originates here’ is the basis for everything we develop. We are specifically focussing on the pig farrowing systems because we know that a good start is the essence of a successful pig farm. We are very proud of the systems we have developed, among which we have the Pro Dromi system. In this type of system the sows are moving around freely and at the same time we reduce the risk of piglet mortality. We try to lead the way by constantly innovating.
