Welcome to IDS. Your Partner in Progress IDS Pigs provides the strongest, most effective solutions in UK Pig Farming. In 1990 IDS developed a patented ventilation system for use in IDS’s modular pig housing concept – the Piggy Parlour™. The Piggy Parlour™ proved very successful in UK Pig Farming as well as in Germany and Japan over the next ten years. The mid to late 1990s saw a period of major growth within the pig industry. There was substantial investment within the sector, as producers invested in state of the art equipment to improve efficiency and reduce costs. IDS was a major beneficiary and employment levels grew from 25 in 1996 to 49 in 1999. Since 1999 the pig equipment market has become increasingly competitive. There have been many new entrants into the market, but IDS has remained the number 1 supplier in this increasingly fragmented market. Today IDS has 42 employees.
