What should you consider when planning for a new Pig Shed?
A well-planned pig shed provides a safe, productive environment for the animals while minimising operational costs, making it a valuable asset to the farm.
Animal Welfare
Temperature control, ventilation, and space allocation should be considered to ensure the pigs’ health. The building should be designed to put the least stress on the pigs.
Regulations
Meeting the welfare standards and environmental regulations is a non-negotiable, our team will help you design the building to ensure the regulations where you live are followed. Are there any features you would like that will
Feeding and Watering
Nowadays, a lot of people are choosing to automate their feeding and watering systems in order to save them time and money in the long run, consider whether this is something you would like to implement.
Future Planning
It is important when planning any large investment, like a new Pig Shed, that you consider what the plans for your farm are for the next 1, 5 or even 10 years. This is so you can choose the correct size, as you wouldn’t want to outgrow the building after 2 years due to bad planning, as they are designed to stand strong for decades.
What are the benefits of a Pig Shed?
Enhanced productivity
There are a number of ways a specially designed Pig Shed can improve productivity, one of which includes integrating automated water and feeding systems, which will save you a considerable amount of labour while also having a direct impact on the growth rates of the livestock.
Other factors that can improve productivity are the easy-to-clean surfaces that can be fitted and the reduction of labour demands.
Energy Efficient
Proper insulation and energy-efficient heating systems are known to reduce heating costs.
Improved Performance
Correct space allowances lead to improved performance, and since we design each of our buildings bespoke to you, we can ensure the correct amount of space is allocated for each stage of the pig’s life.
Strengthened Animal Welfare
The new building will be able to better control the spread of diseases, which will, in turn, improve the pig’s welfare, stress and comfort. This is through the use of proper insulation, heating and ventilation.
