Hog waste system
DELPHI, Ind. For use in
confinement buildings, new
double-deck pig nurseries with a
revolutionary waste drainage
system have just been introduced
by Farmcraft Agn Systems
division of Underhill Industries,
Inc., Delphi, Ind.
Instead of liquid and solid wastes
falling through woven wire or slat
floors into the building’s manure
pit, the wastes drop into plastic
pans suspended just beneath each
upper and lower pen floor. With
this new system, wastes are
removed more frequently every
few days and with less labor. An
important result is that there is
much less formation of noxious
gases and foul odors. This system
makes the manure pit obsolete,
according to the manufacturers.
Animal health is unproved and
there is less stress on the small,
recently-weaned pigs. There is a
considerable saving of fuel to heat
the building and less electrical
energy needed to ventilate it.
Pigs in the lower pens no longer
are hit by wastes falling from the
upper pens.
Each plastic pan is shaped so
that wastes move by gravity into a
channel running the length of the
pan. This forms a pipe-shaped
outlet under the end of each pen.
The outlet at the end of each upper
pan is connected by a large plastic
pipe to the outlet below it. Waste
pipes join adjacent pens, so that
the entire row of double-deck pens
is joined together, and wastes flow
by pipe outside the building.

The pans and pipe can be flushed
by hose from above, adding water
to speed the movement of wastes.
An optional auger wastes removal
system is available.
Each wastes removal pan has a
rigid reinforcement frame, and is
suspended by hooks from the floor
above it.
The hog producer can purchase
the entire double-deck pen unit,
complete with waste pans, pipe
and fastening hardware. Or he can
purchase just the pans, pipes and
attachment hardware, to use with
double-deck nursery units he owns
already. The units are easy to
assemble and attach using com
mon tools.
