How to build a better pig house, how to provide a better growth environment for pigs?

September 11, 2023

Different temperature, humidity and space are required in different growth stages of pigs, so providing a suitable environment for pigs can promote growth, so how to provide a better growth environment for pigs? Now the editor will provide you with better construction methods for pig houses, so that you can create a better environment for pigs:

1、Breeding – Pregnant sows in the dry period, most of the gestation period (16 weeks) are kept in group pens or individual pens. These pens should prevent fighting over food during the mating gestation period. To improve breeding performance, boars and sows can be housed together for sexual stimulation through sight, hearing, smell and touch.

2、Standard-sized farrowing pens (with farrowing boxes, separate sow area and piglet supplementary feeding area), if the pig group is small, it is suitable to adopt a one-room system, and a large pig group should adopt a multi-room system. The farrowing pens must have a good pen drainage system and each pen needs to have a separate piglet supplementary feeding area to keep the piglets comfortable without overheating the sow area.

3、Weaning piglets On smaller farms, the weaning piglet area is part of the farrowing house. However, in large farms, one or several special weaning piglets should be built to provide weaned piglets with the warm environment they like. Weaned piglets must be kept especially clean to keep them healthy. The traditional approach is to use ample bedding and frequent house cleaning. Today, pens with slits, perforations or mesh floors (without bedding) are also sufficient to keep piglets clean.

4、The use of narrow and long pens for growing and finishing pigs is conducive to growth. Smaller pens (1.5m x 4.8m) can house 20 growers or 10 finishers. Larger pens can house commensurately larger groups, but the length of the pen must remain no less than 2.5 times the width. Fully slatted floors keep pigs cleaner. If only partial slatted ground is used, a small amount of hoof damage may occur, but this will improve weight gain and save feed. If the three sides of the sleeping area are surrounded by the overall housing partitions, and the defecation and urination areas are separated by open partitions or doors, the pigs can also develop good defecation habits.
