While standard pipe plugs that are made from SBR+NR rubber work great for water and wastewater systems, they’re not really manufactured for the demands of the oil and gas industry. These materials simply don’t have the chemical resistance needed to stand up to the harsh substances in that environment. For this purpose, PlugCo produces Oil and Gas Pipe Plugs, which are made from ...
Furthermore, pilot implantations in pigs were performed, which demonstrated the scalability of the technology. ...
By incorporating Gestal’s smart-feeders for gestation, farrowing and finishing, Henry Creek Farms improved their swine production management, increased efficiencies in labor, saved on feed and improved pig health, welfare and performance. They nearly doubled the number of sows in their farrow-to-finish operation and Doug’s two sons joined the family ...
Farrowing Feeding Methods Farrowing sows play an essential role in pig production since sow and litter performance can influence the swine industry’s next outcomes. ...
Healthy populations of beneficial gut bacteria help pigs resist stress and perform better. So, how can you tell if a pig’s gut is healthy? ...
In the past, identifying animals with exceptional characteristics was difficult owing to manual pig performance testing methods that often included human bias, errors, and were not representative of real-world pig production. To help automatically identify superior performing animals, Osborne developed an automated feeding ...
But today, it is recognised more and more that the vulnerability of our livestock is growing with the genetic progress and that finely ground feed can cause major health problems and reductions in performance. Recent research on pigs has proven that too many fine particles in the feed necessarily cause stomach ulcers, so that the majority of the animals for ...
Methods A total of 12 minimally invasive procedures were performed on six pigs (5 cholecystectomies, 3 Nissen fun-doplicaiions, 1 splenectomy and 1 hepatic pedicle dissection) and on one human cadaver (1 cholecystectomy and 1 Nissen fundoplication), by four laparoscopic surgeons. ...
These plants manage treatment and waste disposal from cattle and pig facilities, ensuring best production performance, optimal microclimate and air quality, nitrogen suppression and proper use of livestock effluent in compliance with environmental regulations mandated by the European Community. ...
A major pipeline company recently conducted hydrostatic testing and pigging operations on 56 miles of pipeline in south central Louisiana. The original plan for the project was to flood the pipeline with water from the Atchafalaya River and perform multiple pig runs while discharging the water from the pipeline back into the river. ...
CETCO Oilfield Services FilterSep Technology allows pipeline owners and operators to clean, pig, and perform integrity management and inspection operations without taking their liquid pipelines out of service. ...
CETCO Oilfield Services new equipment fleet of pipeline separators and FilterSeps allows pipeline operators and contractors to clean their pipelines, run pigs, and perform internal integrity assessments on their lines without taking their pipelines out of service. ...
