The jury of the Boerenbusiness Awards has nominated 5 companies with their product or service for the Agribusiness Award. We will announce these in random order. Now contender number 3: AgriSyst with the Feed Conversion Monitor.
Twan van Dijk, director of AgriSyst, received the certificate accompanying the nomination on Wednesday at the company's office in Weert. AgriSyst is a data-driven company that offers solutions and software to pig farmers that enable them to increase their returns.
Van Dijk has submitted the Feed Conversion Monitor developed by AgriSyst for the Agribusiness Award. This tool relieves pig farmers by automatically collecting and processing growth and feed data from various systems available in the market. And if desired, including feed costs, Van Dijk adds.
Smart farming is important
"We notice in our business that most pig farmers are still hesitant to invest in this area," says Van Dijk in his motivation to compete for the Agribusiness Award. "Smart farming is important for future-proof pig farming."
With the Feed Conversion Monitor, the pig farmer can have daily information available by linking important data such as feed intake, growth and feed conversion, which he can use to manage his business. According to AgriSyst, a yield improvement of €1 to €5 per pig is possible, depending on the market situation and management measures.
