New updates from FeedFlo provide key data to operators.

FeedFlo is a Winnipeg, Manitoba-headquartered company that offers what it says is the world’s only on-pipe feed sensor.

The same-named on-pipe feed sensor, FeedFlo, tells operators exactly how much feed is being delivered to the animals so one can be sure that every pig in the barn is well fed and capable of growing.

With industry-leading precision and up-to-the-minute real-time data and alerts, FeedFlo is a simple and affordable way to improve production outcomes across one’s organization.

All users get access to FeedFlo's online platform and mobile app. Powerful insights, reporting, and analytics are all at the tip of your fingers!

The innovative FeedFlo sensor attaches directly to each of the feedlines and takes over readings every second to ensure that its data is accurate and that no feed is missed.

Designed to fit standard three-inch (75mm) feed lines, it can be easily installed without any disruption to the animals.

Now, FeedFlo the company, has announced that FeedFlo the product’s software has been updated to include two new features: continuous calibration and inventory management, which make it easier to keep your sensors accurate and manage feed deliveries.

Sensor Calibrations: FeedFlo now offers mobile support for precision and continuous calibrations. Operators can use their smartphones to log monthly 'bin checks' and calibrate their FeedFlo sensors seamlessly.

Inventory Management: The company’s customers asked for it, so FeedFlo has delivered, as it now provides fully automated feed ordering—even during marketing! Operators can track bin levels and projected empty dates, and sync up delivery information using the "Inventory" tab.

In this exclusive interview from the 2025 Iowa Pork Congress Rachel Fishback and Swineweb sit down with Tim Messinger, a seasoned expert from Precision Structures Inc. (PSI) of Wellman, Iowa, to delve into the latest trends and innovations in hog barn construction and remodeling.

With nearly two decades at PSI, Tim shares his journey from draftsman to sales, highlighting the company’s comprehensive services in building farrow-to-wean complexes, finishers, and nurseries. He emphasizes the critical role of proper site layout and grading in barn construction, ensuring long-term efficiency and scalability for pork producers.

Tim also discusses the increasing importance of advanced ventilation systems and smart controllers like Maximus and AP Edge, which offer producers enhanced monitoring and control over barn environments. As construction costs have risen, PSI has seen an uptick in remodeling projects, particularly in slat replacements, roof refurbishments and barn gating remodels to extend the lifespan of existing facilities.

A key takeaway from Tim is the value of partnering with reputable builders who offer robust post-sale support. PSI’s dedicated service team stands ready to assist clients 24/7, addressing emergencies and ensuring optimal barn performance.
