On 16 April 2021 SKIOLD Group signed a contract with KH Lin Farm for a complete turnkey pig farm, designed by SKIOLD. The farm includes a 1500 sow farm for finishing, and two farms for further 1200 sows with finisher production.

The signing of the contract was witnessed by Bo Mønsted, director of the Danish Trade Council, Taipei and the CEO of SKIOLD A/S, Søren Overgaard.

“I am really proud on behalf of SKIOLD that KH Lin has put their trust in SKIOLD as partner to design and execute the farm project at Kuan-Ling Farm. This complete farm solution with sow- and finishing farming is designed using the latest technology of SKIOLD and our technology partners. This project include all the quality parts of feeding, watering and penning to ensure the best growth conditions for the animal." says Søren Overgaard, CEO of SKIOLD A/S

SKIOLD has been working with our strategic partners for the project. Munters has delivered all ventilation systems for the whole project, and United Ivory (UI) has put together the building designs and construction. SKIOLD provides all equipment within penning, flooring, water system, feeding system, slurry system and silos.

With the SKIOLD digital pig management system, all production data can be gathered in a single platform, for your daily management and analysis of all aspects of the production. On the other hand, the management system makes it possible to provide precise feed quality and correct nutritional feed based on animals’ need, to ensure optimal health and growth.

"On top of this we are including the latest digital solutions to enhance production efficiency and ensure that KH Lin get the maximum return on their investment and not least all their efforts in producing the best quality livestock. Choosing the SKIOLD ESF system and our Tristar system combined with advanced controls and management system, and not least combined with the latest technology of our partners will surely create a “lighthouse” operation in for the region." says Søren Overgaard and continues:

SKIOLD remain committed to Mr. Lin and his business to ensure that the KH Lin group maximize the results of their efforts.”
