Dosatron Pig Breeding: Dosing Solutions

Since 1974, Dosatron has been helping to improve the performance of your pig farm by allowing you to control the dosing of:

vaccines,
antibiotic treatments (curative or metaphylactic),
wormers, painkillers, anti-inflammatories,
zootechnical additives (organic acids, essential oils, probiotics, minerals, vitamins, electrolytes for rehydration, etc.),
disinfectants for the bio-security of your farm (water system sanitation, drinking water disinfection, vehicles decontamination).

Treatment and vaccination via drinking water have long been proven to be flexible, fast, safe and effective.

We are witnessing an undeniable revival in favor of this administration route attested to by a number of factors:

current developments in practice and legislation, including restrictions on antibiotics that are critical to human health,
the strong reduction or cessation of medication via the feed considered as one of the first factors of antibiotic overconsumption (2022: ban in Europe of preventive / prophylactic treatments mainly used in the feed),
continuous improvement in treatment solubility (oral powders),
the development of vaccinations that can be administered to pigs via their drinking water (Enterisol® Ileitis-Lawsonia intracellularis, Salmonella, E. Coli, Erysipelas, etc.),
the development of new zootechnical additives (organic acids, probiotics, essential oils, vitamins, minerals, etc.),
the ever-expanding range of products available for water disinfection and hygiene.

We work closely with a large number of farms, pharmaceutical laboratories, institutes and equipment manufacturers/installers in order to meet all your needs. We also support our partners from all over the world to hold regular technical seminars and develop specialised tools.

Dosatron Applications in Pig Breeding

Technical information

To meet all of your specific needs, Dosatron offers a wide range of specialised proportional dosing pumps with water flow rates from 4.5 l/h to 20,000 l/h, water pressures from 0.15 to 10 Bar, dosing rates from 0.03% (300 ppm) to 25% and a whole range of other options.

We offer dosing pumps and installations to suit all types of breeding, according to:

the barn layout,
your animals' water consumption* (number, weight, minimum and maximum water flow rates),
the available water pressure,
water quality issues (minerals),
your treatments, zootechnical additives and biocides, as well as their solubility and / or aggressiveness.
your needs in terms of consistent dosing (water + treatment or vaccine) to avoid variations from one drinker to another (as animals only drink at random for a few minutes per day).

*In absence of permanent monitoring of water consumption, consider that a pig drinks around 10% of its body weight in 24 hours.

The Dosatron Solutions :

piston and diaphragm motor technologies,
various seal and material options,
food contact and drinking water certified pumps,
the new SmartDosing+ connected dosing pump system with SmartLink+ software to ensure safety, live monitoring / recording, traceability and analysis of all treatments and vaccinations via drinking water.
