Optimizer

Nearly Eliminates Feed Waste

• Feed waste from typical hog feeders is known to average between 6% and 12%. Many producers are unaware of this loss since the feed disperses like dust or falls beneath slats, mixing with manure. However, this waste is real and must be addressed.
• The KOCA Optimizer feeder’s unique patented design effectively eliminates feed waste, leading to significant production cost savings. You can always observe a clean area around the feeder, with no leftover feed. Even feed smeared on the pigs’ mouths gets washed off and remains in the trough when they drink.

Minimizes Water Waste

• Water waste isn’t just a problem in hot summer months when pigs frequently play with nipple drinkers—it occurs year-round and adds substantially to production costs. With tightening environmental regulations, this issue will only grow in importance.
• The KOCA Optimizer prevents pigs from wasting water. Its Aquamaster valve system maintains an optimal water level by refilling as pigs drink.
  
  - Reduced water waste means smaller manure tanks are sufficient.
  - Less waste of medicated liquids means more effective treatment.
  - Reduced labor as pigs cannot play with the water.

Increases Feed Intake and Accelerates Growth

• The Optimizer features an animal-friendly design that enables pigs to easily locate both feed and water, consuming them comfortably.
  This encourages higher feed and water intake, promoting healthier and faster growth.
