Patent #6,101,975

The INTāK dispenser’s patented design provides reliable feed flow and delivers a regulated amount of feed with each actuation.

The easy to set indexed adjustment system provides precise and uniform control of the INTāK dispenser.

“The INTāK Feeding System allows us to accurately and easily manage our sow feeding over a twentyone day lactation period. By week two, sows are given ad-lib access to fresh feed twenty-four hours a day. Intake is up and just as important, waste is nearly eliminated. Sows maintain proper body condition in the farrowing crate and return to breeding in excellent shape.”
