What are the problems with pig Farrowing crate?

Regardless of the size of the pig farm, the delivery room incubator is a practical insulation tool.    Newborn piglets are very fragile, all kinds of physiological behavior is still in the formation stage, cold resistance ability is very weak.    As a result, the incubator has become an ideal resting place for pigs in winter.

However, in the pig farm investigation, we found the following problems with the use of incubators and thermal lamps:

Air leakage of the incubator, some pig farms incubator service life for a long time damage, such as the bottom or side damage, easy to air leakage and heat loss.    A good incubator and a damaged one can have a temperature difference of several degrees under the same power insulation lamp, so the damaged incubator should be repaired or replaced.

First, the Farrowing crate incubator is damaged

There is something wrong with the material of the incubator.    In some pig farms, the bottom of the insulation box is metal or easy to heat plastic plate, which is easy to hot under the irradiation of insulation nails.    Scalded pigs don't want to stay down there, but they don't keep warm.    A board or sack is recommended underneath.

There is a problem with the hanging height of the insulation lamp.    Hanging too high will cause insufficient temperature.    If the suspension is too low, the temperature is too high.    Therefore, the installation should be measured.    The height should be kept at least 15 cm from the back of the pig, which can be measured with a thermometer.

Two is Farrowing crate the temperature of the appropriate incubator.

Half an hour before farrowing, turn on the heat lamp, heat the incubator, and line the bottom with sacks or straw.    After the piglets are born, they can have a warm place to rest after eating colostrum.

If the temperature in the incubator is warm enough, it depends on the pig.    The pigs did not want to go into the incubator, preferring to sleep outside together.    Then there must be something wrong with the incubator, either cold or hot, which needs to be improved immediately.

In addition, the overall insulation of the pig house, can use the special heating fan for animal husbandry!    Can effectively improve the overall temperature of the piggery, so that piglets adapt to the outside temperature!
