What equipment is needed and the role of them in pig farm?
| With the increasing expansion of the pig industry, a large number of equipment has been introduced in major pig farms, which can effectively improve the production level of the pig industry and facilitate the management of pig farmers. Although the internal temperature of the major pig farms will not be affected by the outside temperature nowadays, some heating and cooling equipment are still needed in pig houses. In addition, disinfection and cleaning equipment are also very important. |
1. Heating equipment
| Pig house heating is divided into two types: central heating and local heating. Central heating generates heat medium from a central heating unit, which then transports the heat medium to the radiator in the pig house. Local heating has hot water heating floor, electric heating plate, infrared heat lamp and so on. |
2. Cooling equipment
| Although ventilation is an effective means of cooling, it can only reduce the temperature to near ambient temperature. At present, the cooling system commonly used in pig farms includes wet curtain fan cooling system, spray cooling system, and dripping water cooling system. The wet curtain fan cooling system is currently the most mature evaporative cooling system. Its evaporative cooling efficiency can reach 75% - 90%, and has been widely used all over the world. |

3. Cleaning and disinfection equipment
|
The disinfection facilities of the pig farm include a disinfection tank at the gate of the pig farm and the production area, a small disinfection tank at the entrance of the pig house, a disinfection passage for personnel entering and leaving the production area, and a stacking fermentation field for the sewage treatment. The cleaning and disinfection in pig house is mainly through high pressure cleaning combined with chemical disinfectant. The central controlled cleaning system is able to achieve higher pressure without the need to drag the mobile unit, saving more water and manpower. |

4. Slat floor
|
Modern pig farms generally lay a leaking manure floor on the manure urinal. After the pigs urinating and defecating on the floor, the urine flows along with the gap, and the faeces automatically falls into the dropping pit when it is stepped on by the pigs. That avoid contact between pigs and feces, and preventing and reducing the occurrence of the epidemic diseases. Slat floor has various shapes and is usually made into blocks, strips or netting. The materials used include concrete, metal and plastic. |
