Noveko International launches new swine production technology
The company has obtained orders to equip 11 hog farm sites in Quebec. These sales are made through Monitrol Inc. (Monitrol), a North American leader in control systems and ventilation management equipment for farm buildings. Monitrol acts as the exclusive distributor of the Noveko patented antimicrobial air filters for the hog and poultry market in North America.
To maximize the effectiveness of the Noveko antimicrobial air filters, it is recommended that each farm replace the filter cartridges on average every two years.
