• SEE them working with our exclusive Heat Pad Indicator Lights
• Provide the safest and most uniform under-body heat
• Get years of trouble free use

The Stanfield heat mat's ultra-thin, abrasion-resistant fiberglass-reinforced construction, and double-insulated and water-tight heating element makes it the safest and most economical under-body heating mat in the world. With the more electrical safety certifications than any other brand, trust the Stanfield design for heating for your most valuable animals.

Virtually eliminate waste
Mechanical-flow design means pigs' interaction with the feeder - not gravity - determines feed flow.

Earn a 100% ROI - often in less than one year!
Substantial savings in feed waste provides a fantastic return on investment, often in less than a year. Then, enjoy savings year after year!

Improve feed conversion
Use feed for actual animal growth instead of wasted in the pit. 360-degree access provides more standing room, better consumption, and less competition.

Eliminate constant feeder adjustments
The signature "set it and forget it" adjustment eliminates constant adjustments required with traditional rectangular feeders.

Built to last
Abrasion and corrosion-resistant fiberglass-reinforced composite hoppers and troughs and heavy steel (available in galvanized/zinc plated or stainless steel) are built to last decades, even with daily abuse from animals.

Flexibility in use
Models for nursery, wean-to-finish, indoor or outdoor finishing, and even single-space lactation feeders are available. Use in a fenceline or center of a pen and with virtually any type of feed.

Osborne's all-new Flow Pro Bulk Feed Bin Agitator solves the ever-present problems of feed bridging in bulk feed tanks at livestock facilities. Flow Pro uses a gentle yet rugged agitator inside the bulk bin's boot promotes first in, first out mass-flow of feed. 

Unlike other feed bridging solutions commercially available, Osborne’s Flow Pro system uses neither high-frequency vibration nor blunt impact to bin boots or collars to ensure continuous feed flow. Instead, Flow Pro’s rotating agitator provides gentle agitation inside the bin boot as automatic feed delivery systems operate. The rugged auger – making about 100 revolutions per minute (RPM) – ensures continuous flow without compromising feed quality. Though the system provides steady and gentle agitation, clumps and compacted feed from high humidity or moisture are easily destroyed before they reach feed lines, preventing plugging issues. Flow Pro also eliminates bin wear-and-tear caused by vibrating systems or impacting hammers and mallets. Independent product testing confirms first in, first out flow of a variety of feedstuffs, with no adverse effects on bins or performance of automatic feed lines.

Flow Pro is now available for bins of various sizes with both straight and 30-degree boots. Simple system controls and sensors operate at 120/240 VAC and activate automatically and simultaneously with feed delivery systems.

Understanding the correlation between individual animal performance at a young age and performance in the finishing cycle has lacked within the industry for decades. Historically, methods of testing young, nursery-sized animals involved individually isolating animals and manual, labor-intensive monitoring of performance characteristics. These methods resulted in inaccurate and biased data collection.

Now, for the first time ever, Osborne is pleased to announce the release of the first automated pig performance testing system for nursery-sized animals in small groups. SaFIRE (Small Animal Feed Intake Recording Equipment) automatically monitors individual feed intake and growth of pigs from 14 lbs. (6 kg) to 50 lbs. (23 kg). This automated testing in a group environment accurately simulates commercial production, providing data for genetic, feed, and pharmaceutical testing like never before. The SaFIRE system is based on the industry-leading standards and proprietary recording algorithms of the Osborne FIRE (Feed Intake Recording Equipment) pig performance testing system for finishing animals. Completely automated data collection eliminates manual testing methods and provides access to real world, commercially-simulated data.

• Collect feed intake data automatically
• Identify superior animals earlier
• Test feed and additives
• Monitor data in real time
