Built for daily work

To put together the complete technology of the pig complex, taking into account the different groups of animals, the production cycle, hygiene, a stable climate and the daily servicing of the site.

From channels to air

Manure channels and floors are laid before the concrete is poured, so the list starts with them.

  • Gravity manure removal
  • Slatted concrete floors
  • Slatted plastic floors
  • Pens for all main sow groups
  • Individual farrowing crates
  • Individual insemination crates
  • Group pens for pregnant sows
  • A separate boar pen
  • Feed distribution
  • Feed dispensers
  • Individual and group feeders
  • Climate control
  • Ventilation
  • Cooling pads
  • Local heating for young piglets

Where the systems meet

On a site like this, choosing the right equipment is not enough. You have to work out in advance how rooms, pens, floors, gravity manure removal, feeding, ventilation, cooling, local heating for piglets and climate control will work together.

It is these connections that decide whether a pig complex is easy to run: how rooms are serviced, how animals and staff move, how waste is removed and how the air is kept right through the seasons.

Schematic, not to scale.

The full delivery cycle

Farmer Engineering was responsible for the whole cycle: it worked out the site’s technological logic, chose and supplied the equipment, installed it, started up and tuned the systems, and handed the complex over into operation.
