farrowing house are of prime
consideration to the hog
producer. The new Big
Dutchman farrowing
system, when used with
electric heat mats in the
floor, properly placed slatted
floor and ventilation system,
can provide a farrowing
arrangement for
significantly reducing
mortality rates. Diagram A
shows how pigs are bom on
the aluminum slatted floor
section of the unit. They
immediately seek the
comfort of the first heat mat
which is located only inches
away. A day later, when this
mat is turned off, they are
lured to the warmth of the
second heat mat, which is
located at the head of the
unit. By nesting on this mat,
pigs quickly form the good
dunging habit vital to a
disease-free environment.
Heat mats in the creep area
not only will add to the
discomfort of the sows but
will provide the accustomed
warmth the pigs received
while in the sow’s womb.
Thus the pigs are warm
while the sow is comfortable.
The system’s farrowing
unit also offers distinct value
in' terms of strength and
flexibility to the producer.
Draft panels are embossed
for maximum rigidity and
the edges are reinforced to
assure stability. To prevent
the unit from bending and
coming apart 17 gauge
square steel tubing is welded
in a unique frame without
nuts or bolts or rough joints.
For animal-handling ease,
the doors are designed to
open from either end and the
special feeder pack door is
adaptable to either dry or
liquid feeding. An adjustable
sow rail of double thickness
with special thumb spin
fasteners that require no
tools for adjusting and a
back-up bar are also
provided with the unit.
Finally, corrosibn
protection and improved
sanitation characteristics
have been incorporated into
the unit with the application
of a special epoxy coating.
Wear and impact have
practically no effect on the
epoxy coating, and if a chip
does occur, the unique
bonding characteristic of
epoxy prevents the creeping
effect of rust under the
coating. Its hard, high gloss
finish also provides the
producer a unit that is easy
to keep clean and sanitary.
