FunkiMat bedst in test (for piglets from 6 to 24 kg) Conclusion The assessment of the function performed two feeders better than the others. MaxiMat Wean from Skoild A/S and FunkiMat from ACO Funki A/S was both the overall grade ”good”. They met all the basic requirements for a pipe feeder for piglets and got only the grades ”good” and ”very good” in the seven categories they were evaluated in. Product test could not show any statistically significant difference in production value among the five feeders. Source: "Videncenter For Svineproduktion", message.
