Some of the challenges facing pork producers are the high costs of production, increasing consumer demands, and lack of quality workers. New technologies can help address these problems, and one example is large pen auto sorters. Auto sorters can provide similar performance levels to smaller groups, and also provide an economic benefit. However, both of those require proper management of the system, otherwise problems like pigs dying, poorly designed layouts, and reduced performance can occur. Recent producer experiences have shown that auto sort systems can maintain or improve performance, especially as group size and density increases. Also, producers had production savings that varied depending on system, feed, and genetics, and can receive packer bonuses from providing more pigs in the target weight.
