NEWS 16 FEED & ADDITIVE MAGAZINE June 2022 Cloudfarms, SUISAG launch app to track pigs Together with SUISAG, the service partner for Swiss pig producers and international genetics customers, Cloudfarms introduced an innovative application of its existing production management system to pig producers. The “Pig Passport” enables breeding farms, production farms and processors to register and analyze production data of each individual pig from birth to processing. The registered production data contains information such as the pig's genetic pedigree, feed consumption, or health information. An electronic ear tag connected to the Cloudfarms Mobile App allows fast, reliable, and easy data entry for each pig directly in the barn. The individual animal data are made available in real-time reports through the Cloudfarms web application. In cooperation with SUISAG first pig producers from Switzerland and Germany have started to test the innovative software application in their daily operations. Thereby, the Cloudfarms Mobile App is integrated into SuisDataManager, the existing reporting solution from SUISAG, which is widely used by pig producers in Switzerland. As part of the test phase, the software application will be further customized to the pig producers’ specific needs. In a next step, SUISAG will make the Cloudfarms Mobile App together with the SuisDataManager available to all interested pig producers in Switzerland and Germany.
