Code for design of 4 common pig raising equipment

The design and manufacture of common pig raising equipment in large-scale chemical plants is an interdisciplinary and comprehensive process.

This paper introduces some commonly used equipment from the perspective of animal husbandry and veterinary medicine according to the laws of pig physiological growth. Due to the different actual conditions and environments, the specifications, models and materials of the equipment are different, so it is unnecessary to insist on consistency in the use process.

1 Breeding and pregnancy room

The breeding and pregnancy house of common pig raising equipment is equipped with male pig pens, breeding pens and single sow spacing bars.

1.1 Basic requirements

① Boar pen: the length of adult boar is up to 2m. In order to facilitate the turning of boar, the width of boar pen is generally not less than 2.4m, the length is not less than 3m, and the height of the fence is not less than 1.2m. There is a playground outside the house to increase the amount of exercise and the service life of boars.

② Breeding fence: set up a separate breeding fence as far as possible. Since the breeding boar is close to the hind drive of the sow before climbing onto the sow for breeding, the length of the pig house should at least be the sum of the nose to tail length of the breeding boar and the sow.

Also, because the breeding boar has been chasing the sow in the pig house before breeding, the boar needs to have space to walk forward in the pig house, so that it will not rely on its hind legs as a fulcrum or turn with its back arched when turning.

According to the above principle, the length of breeding fence shall not be less than 3.5~4m and the width shall not be less than 3m. Because it is very difficult for boars to approach young sows in the corner of the pig house, the breeding house is designed to be octagonal, the ground of the pig house is designed to be skid resistant, and there are no barriers such as feeding trough and water dispenser installed in the house to affect the balance of pigs.

③ Monomer limit bar for sows: the purpose is to save the area of the pig house and facilitate the feeding and management, but it is not too tight, and it affects the productivity. The single limit bar for sows is designed to open the front and back doors, so as to facilitate the access of sows.
