Benefits of Pig Farming Equipments 6 Dec 2021, 7:53 am

 Pigs are more sensitive animals as compared to sheep, goats, and other livestock, and they require better management. But, they have an advantage that they give a better return as their feed-to-meet ratio is higher than other livestock and they also have a high breeding rate.

The quality and development of pigs depend on the feeding and housing systems, and this is why it is important for a pig farmer to exploit the modern pig farming equipment which will help in growing healthy pigs and ultimately an increased return on investment.

Some of the Modern Pig Farming Equipments are:

Stalls

Gestation Stalls: A gestation stall is primarily meant for housing pregnant sows. These stalls can be used in breeding, gestation and furrowing phases. They provide enough space for a sow and they make physical examination and insemination process very easy. They also help in protecting the sow from injuries and in controlling their feeding intake.

Finishing Stalls: These stalls are best for housing heavier pigs, which weigh more than 40 kg.

Weaning Stalls: These stalls are mean for the newly-born pigs and designed so that they don't cause pollution and feel comfortable for the babies.

Pig Feeders

Drinking bowl: Modern pig drinking bowls are hygienic and the curled design prevents dust from entering into the water. They also reduce fecal pollution.

Nipple Drinker: Nipple drinkers are automatic and they do not allow any leak.

Dry-wet Feeder: The advantage of a dry-wet feeder is that they save feedings and are designed in a way so they won't damage the snout of the pigs.

Creep Feeder: It is used to supply feed in furrowing crate for piglets. They are helpful if the mother sow doesn't have sufficient milk. They are easy to clean and can be used for both feeding and watering.

Ventilation

Exhaust Fans: Exhaust fans when installed in a poultry farm can pump out a large volume of foul air without creating much noise.

Cooling Pads: It is important to keep the air inside the stalls clean because the climate influences the production capacity of pigs. A cooling pad consists of a fan, rotating discs, motor, and water bowl. The fan pumps out the unhealthy air and rotator disks spray water into the stall.

Dynamic Air Ventilation: Energy consumption can be reduced to a great extent by using frequency controlled fans. They can be installed in all types of stalls and can be accessed remotely as well.

Flooring

Pigsty Mat: Electrical Heating Mats are combined with the feeder, water bowl, and heating pads. They not only take good care of the pigs, but also prevent them from electric shocks.

Plastic Floor: These floors provide good furrowing and prevent frequent touches between the pigs and the dung. They do not corrode and are easy to clean.

Fiberglass Beam: These beams work as a support to the breeding fences

Advantages of Farrowing Crates For Pigs 6 Dec 2021, 7:52 am

 If you own a piggery farm, know that you need to find a way to produce a lot of piglets each year for profitability. However, this goal is not easy to achieve today because of high piglet mortality rate. There are a lot of factors that lead to piglet mortality. One of those factors is the absence of an important unit in the production center called a farrowing crate.

If you are just starting out, you may not have any idea of the importance of farrowing crates for female pigs. After birth, piglets struggle to survive and many of them die. As a result, you suffer a lot of financial loss.

So, if you are investing in pig farm equipment, we suggest that you get farrowing crates. Some of their benefits are listed below:

Cannibalism

If you have aggressive gilts, know that they may eat their piglets after giving birth to them. Actually, what happens is that they keep licking the navels of their babies until the piglets are torn apart. In this case, if there is a farrowing crate, it can help prevent the disaster.

Crushing

At times, it happens that the mother steps on her piglets while moving around after delivery. In some cases, she ends up falling asleep on her babies, which results in the death of most of the babies. So, it's better to have this unit.

Births in Wallow

Here is another problem: if a pregnant sow is given full freedom to walk around, she may end up delivering the baby in the wallow. As a result, babies may die. So, having a farrowing crate can help prevent this type of incidents.

Lousy Sows

After delivery, it's important for sows to breastfeed the newborns. However, some sows are too lazy to do that. Instead, they just lie in the wallow.

Diarrhoea

Piglets that are in search of water tend to eat filth and drink urine. If you have a well-designed farrowing crate, the mother pig won't be able to access the feces and urine. To meet the needs of your animals, you can provide a separate drinker and feeder instead.

Biting Piglets

Piglets tend to bite other piglets, especially when they are about the weaning age. However, if they are crated, it may not happen.

Weaning Weight

When baby pigs approach their weaning age, they need to gain a lot of weight. If you provide a separate feeder and drinker for them, it will help them gain their weaning weight.

If you want to enjoy 99% production success, we suggest that you invest in quality pig farm equipment. Based on the number of breeding sows you own, make sure you get the right number of farrowing crates.

Having a poorly designed crate may cause a lot of problems, such as:

Higher piglet mortality

Foot Sores

Diarrhoea

Sow death

Sow lameness

 Mobile phones in the last decade have become one of the most techandtravels that everybody has in their hands. Usually, it becomes quite difficult to think of daily life without smart phones.

Cost

Phones are not a simple gadget and thus repairing them is also not an easy task, especially if the extent of damage is too high. If a person is expecting good work to make the phone work again, then the services may cost a bit too high. Comparing the cost of repairing can help in choosing a financially feasible place.

Expertise

Before choosing a certain repair center make it a point to see if the experts and technicians are knowledgeable and experienced enough. Like mentioned before phones are not always easy to repair and each type of damage might need different expertise and process. This is where experience plays a major role. Also, good repair work means a longer life of the device, or else it can cause further damages that might cost more in the future.

Parts and warranty

Two of the most important things that a mobile owner must check are: if the service center has a warranty system and can they provide replacement parts. Make sure that they have real and new parts and not the older ones, and that they are using parts from the manufacturing company itself. Also, get a repair warranty, so that in case a phone starts malfunctioning after repair work, then the phone can be returned for further repairs without any additional costs.

Read reviews and check the reputation before choosing a service so that the repair work is satisfactory in the end, and the phone is back to its working mode.
