BigFarmNet MySow

Streamlined sow management with live herd insights

BigFarmNet MySow is a specialized herd management tool designed for sow farmers already working with a BigFarmNet system. Instead of juggling paper notes or office-based software, it brings key animal data directly to your hand in the barn, where decisions actually happen.

The core strength of MySow is real-time data handling. Activities such as insemination, farrowing, weaning, and piglet moves can be recorded immediately at the animal. Changes are pushed straight into the central system, cutting down on double entry and minimizing errors that often creep in when tasks are logged later.

Feeding management is another strong point. You can adjust feeding data for individual sows, and the app highlights animals that have not eaten in a dedicated list. Combined with QuigTag location transponders, this list can be filtered by pen, so you see only the animals directly in front of you. In large groups, this saves a significant amount of time and reduces the risk of missing problem animals.

Routine herd work is also well covered: move-in, internal moves, move-out, and recording dead sows are all supported, as well as editing tag numbers and selection activities for breeding or culling decisions.

On the downside, MySow is tightly bound to the BigFarmNet ecosystem, making it useful only if your farm is already equipped accordingly. New users may also face a short learning curve, especially if they are not used to digital herd management tools, and the experience will depend heavily on the reliability of the farm network.

Overall, BigFarmNet MySow is a focused, practical solution for professional sow farms seeking to capture accurate data right in the pen and translate it into better, faster management decisions.
