AVAILABLE IN FARROWING,
COMBINATION
FARROWING/NURSERY,
& VEAL BUILDINGS.
Providing pigs with a completely
controlled environment means
they don’t have to fight stress.
Less stress means less disease,
less mortality, less feed used
and less time to marketable
weight. That is the biggest
reason good hogmen love our
nursery buildings. They know
they will be able to fully utilize
their good management abilities.
Of course, you don’t have
the hassle and worry connected
with a contracted building
because all necessary equipment
is furnished.
Get tbe nursery that will
satisfy your requirements
delivered, and start raising pigs
more economically than you
thought possible.
