More Efficient Pig Fattening through a Change in the Feeding System


ZEVAS Vraclav a.s., in cooperation with AGE s.r.o., has successfully modernised the feeding technology at its pig fattening facility.

ZEVAS Vraclav a.s., in cooperation with AGE s.r.o., has successfully modernised the feeding technology at its pig fattening facility. As part of the reconstruction, the original liquid feeding system was replaced with a modern dry feeding system from the renowned manufacturer Roxell.

Reason for the Change

Despite the stable number of sows in the Czech Republic, pork production continues to grow. ZEVAS Vraclav is responding to this trend by investing in increased efficiency – not only through modernisation of technology, but also to simplify operation and reduce operating costs.

No-Compromise Fattening

As part of the project, three halls with a total capacity of 4,500 housing places were equipped with a new dry feeding system:

  • Four silos with tensometric weighing for precise feed level monitoring
  • Blu’Hox 120+ feeders for moist feeding of pigs from 20 to 145 kg
  • Discaflex conveying system for smooth and reliable feed distribution
  • AGE-VENT 300+ control unit for consumption monitoring
  • BN2 modular penning for comfortable animal housing

The modernisation was carried out gradually, without interrupting operations. Thanks to the reliable limit switch system, the pigs have continuous access to feed without any waste.

The Outcomes Speak for Themselves

The change has brought a clear and measurable effect:

  • Shortened fattening period by 7–10 days
  • Increased daily weight gains from 900 g to more than 1,000 g
  • Improved feed conversion
  • Possibility to slaughter pigs at a higher weight (up to 125 kg) while maintaining the desired meatiness

Each year, ZEVAS Vraclav supplies approximately 12,500 pigs, mainly to the ZD Sloupnice and Kostelec na Hané slaughterhouses.

A Longstanding Partnership with AGE s.r.o.

AGE s.r.o. once again demonstrated its technological know-how and flexibility during the reconstruction carried out under full operation.

“Our cooperation with AGE has been long-term, and once again everything was handled professionally and to our satisfaction.”
says Ing. Ivo Roček, Managing Director of ZEVAS Vraclav a.s.
