2 to 10 % farrowing rate improvement is
observed (depending on farms) when using the Boar Bot.
With it's compactness (20 inches wide)
and a remote control the Boar Bot can lead or push a boar in front
of any sow during insemination or detection to virtually anywhere,
even to the hardest reachable places.
Characteristics
How it works
Nore
more need to close and open fences. Only one person is needed to detect heat or to stimulate
sows during insemination. A nose to nose stimulation is now possible. The robot can be moved, with a remote control, to virtually
any place even the hardest to reach.
The
Boar Bot, with 4 wheel-drive and skid steering can lead or push a
boar with a harnest. This robot works with a remote control and is really easy to
use. Two 12 volts deep cell batteries will power the two 24 volts
motors for up to 8 hours of continuous use. It is geared to travel 1,6ft/ second.
Benefits
Approximately 42 minutes/ sow/ year/ person is
allowed to stimulate for detection and insemination, so about $ 8
CAN/ sow/ year. High chances of increasing farrowing rate and number of
born. The boar is tied to the Boarbot with a rope that attaches
to a leather harness that straps around the Boar's shoulders. The rope is tied low, near the boar's chest, so it is
unable to get any lift and tip the Boarbot over. Since he is tethered behind the machine, the boar can come
in direct physical contact with the sows.Possibility to inseminate
alone with Boar Bot.
