Case Study: Grandview Farms optimizes pig health with BarnTools

Grandview Farms catches pig illness 2-3 days earlier with BarnTools

Grandview Farms, a swine production enterprise, faced challenges with unreliable environmental alarms and poor connectivity from their previous monitoring system, Sensaphone. This led to frequent false alarms and an inability to detect real emergencies, hindering their ability to manage pig health effectively. They turned to vendor BarnTools and implemented its BarnTalk monitoring system to gain better visibility and reliable, real-time data.

The BarnTools solution provided Grandview Farms with dependable alarms and 24/7 access to environmental data. By standardizing alarms and monitoring real-time water consumption, they could detect illnesses much earlier. This resulted in cutting treatment time from 7 days down to 4-5 days and catching 10-15 groups of pigs on the first day of illness. The connectivity was also vastly improved, providing full visibility and transforming how the farm manages its production.
