Wastes drainage system debuts DELPHIA, Ind. A new wastes drainage system for sow farrowing crates in confinement buildings, using polyethylene plastic pans has just been introduced by the Farmcraft Agri-Systems division of Underhill Industries, Inc., P. 0. Box 256, Delphi, Ind. It makes the old manure pits under confinement buildings obsolete, the makers claim. With this new system, wastes are removed from the buildings more frequently (every few days) and more easily An important result is that there is much less formation of noxious gases and foul odors. Animal health is improved and there is less stress on baby pigs, making earlier weaning possible. There is considerable saving of fuel to heat and ventilate the farrowing building. Instead of manure dropping through the floor into a pit below, the wastes drop into a contoured plastic pan just beneath the floor. The pan is shaped so that wastes move by gravity into a channel running the length of the pan. This forms a pipe-shaped outlet at the POWER •Air Cooled Units: 2 - 20 KW Maxi-Power Generator has over 325 automatic units in South Eastern Pa. Why not check with the leader before buying!
