FAST II can be used for pigs from weaning to finish weight.

Lack of uniformity is the number one cost to the swine industry, according to the 2003 National Pork Quality Audit by the National Pork Board. It is estimated that producers lose an average of $1-3 per head due to sort losses alone. FAST II enables producers to accurately select market pigs within their packer’s specific preferred weight range.

FAST II also helps producers do a better job of feeding pigs, and contributes to improving meat quality. It improves space efficiency, pen utilization and reduces the labor of sorting, loading and cleaning.

A FAST II pen is designed for approximately 500-750 pigs. One super-sized pen is divided into a loafing area and one or more food courts. Pigs learn to walk through the FAST II scale to get to the feeders in the food courts. The scale’s exit gate directs the pig to the “heavy” or the “light” food courts.

FAST II barns require minimal alleyways so producers gain approximately 60 additional pig spaces versus traditional barns. The added production space makes it very economical to install FAST II technology.
