REDUCED MORTALITY RATES... LESS LABOR... EASY MANAGEMENT...
SANITATION.,. DURABILITY... YOU GET ALL OF THESE ADVANTAGES WITH
A BIG DUTCHMAN FARROWING UNIT. Workable design and durability make
the Big Dutchman Farrowing Unit the leader In the field. Constructed of
tough 16 gauge SQUAREsteeI tubing and embossed draft panels with heavy
galvanized side wall, it offers maximum rigidity while exclusive reinforced
edges assure stability. Lower side bars are double strength and feature
easy adjusting. Side members are WELDED to the frame doing away with
time consuming nut and bolt cleaning. Built in Big Dutchman HEAT MATS
and SLATTED FLOOR reduce mortality rates. Pigs are born on the porce
liinized steel slatted floor and immediately seek warmth of the first of
two "safety zone” heat mats. When the first heat mat is turned off, they
seek the heat of the second mat which is located at the front of the unit
By nesting on this mat, pigs quickly form the good dunging habits vital to
a disease free environment. Heat mats will not overheat the sow, reducing
pig loss due to discomfort and uneasiness. FOR FARROWING, FINISHING,
GESTATION or NURSERY... for one piece or an entire system... for total
confinement, semi-confinement or pen feed lots, it will profit you to look
to the leader. Big Dutchman has equipped hundreds of profit making hog
operations and has an open invitation for you to inspect them. Contact any
