• In January 1999 The Correct Magnets were used in a pig trial started at Bishop Burton Agricultural College. Unfortunately after 2 months the college decided to de-stock the herd and the trial was stopped. It was decided to put magnets on the dry sow yard to see if any results could be achieved during the period of the de-stocking. The stockman has since reported that 0.4 of a pig per litter extra was produced after the magnets were fitted. We have requested he do a further trial once the restocking has begun.
• On 14th March 1999 Correct Magnets were fitted to the water pipe of a pig farm in Cheshire. The holding has 130 sows and rears all offspring to slaughter as heavy cutters. The first noticeable difference in the water supply was that the water bowls were cleaner. By June 1999 it became obvious to the owner that his weaners' weights at 28 days were 1kg better than had been prior to fitting the magnets. He now weans at 24 days. His sows also returned to service 1 day sooner. The fat pigs reached slaughter weight at 17 weeks rather than 18 weeks having eaten less feed. The herd average litter size during the past 3 years has been 12.5 born - 10.3 reared. For sows which had been on magnetically conditioned water for the full term of pregnancy the average litter size increased to 16 with no mortalities (the biggest litter was 20, 5 sows had 19 and the smallest litter was 12). It was also noticed that the sows seemed to give more milk and did not milk off their backs. Later indications on this farm show that despite stopping all infeed antibiotics at the start of the trial, no cases of mastitis or milk fever have been seen. Injection of pigs for any reason have been reduced dramatically and vet bills have been reduced accordingly!
• Trial carried out over 75 weeks at Willow Farm, a 200 Sow Breeder/Finisher unit, 100% Pure Bred Landrace Sows. Magnets were fitted on the main water supply and the wet feed system line.

  75 week period prior to installation of Magnets:-
  634 Litters from 799 services - 79.35% Farrowing Rate to First Service.

  75 week period after installation of Magnets:-
  689 Litters from 807 services - 85.38% Farrowing Rate to First Service

  An Improvement of 6.03%.

  Average no. of Pigs born per Sow per Year:-
  Before Magnets fitted - 26.06 (average no. of Sows - 196.90)
  After Magnets fitted - 27.23 (average no. of Sows - 205.20)

  An Improvement of 4.49%.

  Average no. of Litters per Sow per Year:-
  Before Magnets fitted - 2.23 (average no. of Sows - 196.90)
  After Magnets fitted - 2.32 (average no. of Sows - 205.20)

  An Improvement of 4.04%.

• Weaner trial showing 6.6% Improvement in FCR.

The results of these tests using powerful clamp on magnets have been successful. However, it is emphasised that correct magnetic parameters have to be met to achieve successful results. As at Dec 2005 150 pig farms worldwide have been fitted with The Correct Magnet.
