BigFarmNet – management and control system
Bits und bytes:
even pigs go Digital
Sure, pigs do not need computers. But your farm probably does not work efficiently without support from digital devices. BigFarmNet, our unique management and control software, makes digitalisation easy, fast and secure – and your farm more profitable.
Digitalisation is our and your innovation driver. Big Dutchman identified this important trend as early as in 2005. We used the time we have had since then to provide you with a thought-out and reliable management tool you can use to get your farm ready for the future. More than 27500 licenses have been activated worldwide, confirming that we are on the right track. Let our experts advise you!

With BigFarmNet Manager on the PC
2. In your office at the PC.
BigFarmNet not only unites all applications in one software,
but also adds components for farm management. The integrated
management tools for finishers and sows focus on the animal. All
animal data is saved, even when the animal is moved.
Our main focus during the development of BigFarmNet Manager was
user-friendliness. The uniform user interface for all applications and the
individual views you can create in BigFarmNet Manager will convince
you as well!
Your animals will receive the correct amount of the correct nutrients at the correct time – and at the most economic price.
- Feed curves are displayed as graphs to allow for easy changes.
- Feed reviews and group comparisons help you with optimising your recipes.
- Define feeding times and feed amounts in the Task Manager.
- Make adjustments manually and directly in the overview table, for example reducing the feed amount in case of high temperatures.
