The Rural Voice, 2004-09, Page 23proved to be of great interest to the producers," says Underhill. "With continued biosecurity efforts, producers can watch several innovative pieces of equipment in operation." The Swine Pavilion, which accommodates commercial exhibits on everything from feed to genetics to equipment, will expand this year to 220 ft. from 160 ft. in 2003. For biosecurity reasons, all swine demos will be presented in a separate building from the main Swine Pavilion allowing producers to choose whether to enter the viewing area. Hand -wash stations will be available. All pigs in the demos will be from high health herds and all animals will be blood -tested before arrival at the Show to ensure they provide minimum disease risk. All hogs will be at market weight and after the Show. they will be sent direct to slaughter. The Dairy Expo will again see a demonstration of the Lely Astronaut robotic milking with a 50 -head cow herd for the fifth year. Farmers will have a chance to witness a fully -automated dairy barn in operation. Ontario Harvestore will be installing a Rovibec robotic feeder in the show's Lely Astronaut Barn and it will be in full operation during the three days of the show. The Rovibec system and a JAY-LOR TMR mixer will prepare and distribute feed to the herd. In addition, the Ontario Harvestore Slurrystore will tend to the manure from the cows used in the demos, and along with a manure digester, will showcase leading-edge manure storage and handling. The introduction of a "Big Ass Fan" will serve the ventilation requirements of the dairy barn. The fan has a 24 -foot diameter to -maximize efficiency of air circulation. Adjacent to the dairy barn, JAY- LOR will be featuring a demo to highlight the speed and durability of their advanced TMR mixer. Twice daily, both JAY-LOR and Rovibec will participate in an interactive feeding demo. "We are please to continue expanding the show's Dairy Expo," says Underhill.
