Save More Piglets in the Nursery Phase

The Nursery Nanny, developed by FuturHerd Solutions, is a robotic system designed for piglet pens. It helps reduce mortality rates by encouraging piglets to be more active, while ensuring they receive adequate feed and water during their transition into the nursery barn.

Enrichment Opportunity

Every month, over $166 Million is lost during the nursery phase in the United States.

Transitioning piglets from their mother and littermates to a nursery pen can be a highly stressful process. During this period, piglets often face difficulty adjusting to eating dry feed, which can lead to a range of issues, including sickness, weight loss, and in severe cases, death. These challenges contribute to significant financial losses for pig farmers. In fact, it is estimated that nursery mortality in the United States results in a loss of approximately two billion USD annually.
