OptiSORT Feeding The technology that combines optical weighing, automated sorting, and feeding adjusted by subgroups of homogeneous pigs
For improved working comfort, greater performance and better animal welfare
A technology unique in the world
A true technological breakthrough, OptiSORT Feeding was awarded 2 Innov’Space stars at SPACE 2025, a recognition that confirms its unique character and tangible impact on the pig industry.
OptiSORT Feeding is currently the only technology in the world capable of linking optical weighing, automated sorting and adjusted feeding by homogeneous subgroups.
This combination ensures precise monitoring of animal growth and needs. Each pig is directed to the group corresponding to its weight and receives a ration perfectly tailored to the nutritional profile of its group. Weighing accuracy reaches 98%, a level unmatched by conventional mechanical scales.
With over 1 000 stations already installed worldwide, the OptiSORT sorting station has established itself as a robust, reliable, and proven solution.
