About piglet milk feeding systems
Large litters often have more piglets than the sow can feed well. A milk feeding system mixes supplementary milk or liquid pre-starter and delivers it to cups or troughs in each pen. Hygiene is the critical part: lines must be emptied and cleaned on schedule. The pen-side cups alone are not the whole system — preparation, cleaning and control are part of the package.
Common configurations

Small cups in each pen.
Valve-controlled troughs
