Microenvironments and innovation for piglets with Farrpro by The Real P3

In this episode, we visit Farrpro's Founder and CEO Amos Petersen and COO Bill Winkelman about bringing innovations into the swine industry. We discuss their experiences in developing new ideas on creating microenvironments for piglets.
Key Highlights:
• Amos believes that there is a trust issue in the pork industry with some outside technologies that could be beneficial.
• Evaluating new technologies requires new metrics to measure success.
• Bill believes that the diversity of experiences coming into the industry is helping. People come in from outside industries, and they have different ideas and ways of seeing things.
• Today’s challenges, in particular labor, are driving innovation.
• A large part of Farrpro’s success is a true collaboration with clients.
• Regular heat maps frequently fail because of wire design.
• Farrpro’s NanoMat is designed with more durable and efficient materials.
• The NanoMat also has a better grip surface, and it is safer for pigs.
• Electrical heat use is approximately 65% less for the NanoMat than traditional heat maps.
• Pork producers need to look at the farm's design. Other industries seem to be more innovative. Pork producers can learn from others.
