Self-conditioning gilts by gradually exposing them to elements of ESF from a very early stage puts less pressure on the pigs and staff, and allows the animals to learn the system naturally and calmly. But self-conditioning animals and giving them time to adjust isn't just the secret to ESF success, it is the foundation of good animal husbandry. Learn more about how we accomplish it below.  ## [Making Sure Your ESF Data is Secure \[VIDEO\]](https://info.newstandard-group.com/blog/system-backups) ## 07.27.2018 ![](https://info.newstandard-group.com/hubfs/logo.jpg) [New Standard Staff](https://info.newstandard-group.com/blog/author/new-standard-staff) [![](https://info.newstandard-group.com/hubfs/Making%20Sure%20Your%20ESF%20Data%20is%20Secure%20-%20FB.png)](https://info.newstandard-group.com/blog/system-backups) Jon Parker loves working with our clients to fix their problems, both big and small, within group housing. A big part of his job is working with the Nedap ESF hardware and the Velos software to make sure that all our customers can make the most of the robust data available from the system. Nedap recently rolled out some new options for backups and notifications so we asked Jon to explain what is available.  [Previous](https://info.newstandard-group.com/blog/topic/nedap/page/1) [All posts](https://info.newstandard-group.com/blog/all) ## Comments  ### Subscribe to Email Updates Search this site on Google Search Google ### Topics - [Sow Housing (79)](https://info.newstandard-group.com/blog/topic/sow-housing) - [Insider (66)](https://info.newstandard-group.com/blog/topic/insider) - [Electronic Feeding (53)](https://info.newstandard-group.com/blog/topic/electronic-feeding) - [Design (52)](https://info.newstandard-group.com/blog/topic/design) - [Modern Producer (29)](https://info.newstandard-group.com/blog/topic/modern-producer) - [Podcast (19)](https://info.newstandard-group.com/blog/topic/podcast) ### Follow Us ### Recent Articles New Standard Ag Manitoba info@newstandardag.com (204)485-4600 New Standard West Alberta kase@newstandardwest.com (403)650-5051 New Standard US South Dakota info@newstandardus.com (605)496-9696 ![Newstandard_Group](https://info.newstandard-group.com/hubfs/Newstandard_Group_Jan2017/images/logo_footer.jpg) ©2016 Copyright New Standard Ag Website Design by [5J Design](http://www.5jdesign.com)
