Cloudfarms cooperates with SUISAG to launch innovative application enabling individual tracking of pigs from birth to processing
Together with SUISAG, the service partner for Swiss pig producers and international genetics customers, Cloudfarms introduces 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.
