Building an eco-friendly, cost-effective pig farm is a big task. You've got animal welfare, health and ROI to think about, as well as sustainability.
Metallic
Hot galvanized tubes used to construct the pen's frame and fencing, providing strength and corrosion resistance.
Reinforcing steel used to weld and build part of the structure of the pen.
Cast iron Used for the flooring of the sows in the pen, and the troughs, durable and easy to clean.
Tri-bar used to make flooring, suitable for sow pens, high strength and corrosion resistant, does not hurt teats.
Plastic and PVC
PVC panels used for the enclosure of birthing pens and piglet nursery pens, easy to load and unload, clean and sterilize.
Plastic Boards used for flooring, corrosion resistant and easy to clean, suitable for piglets.
Flooring
Concrete used for floor coverings to provide a strong base.
Brick used for walling and floor coverings, strong and durable with better insulation.
Tri-clase and slate can also be used for floor coverings.
Watering and feeding
Stainless steel feeding trough corrosion-resistant, long service life.
Stainless steel drinker for providing clean drinking water.
Insulation and ventilation
Fiberglass steel heat preservation cover used for piglets' heat preservation in the birthing pen.
FRP fan used for ventilation with anti-corrosive properties and resistant to various acids, alkalis and salts.
Stainless steel fan corrosion-resistant and can withstand high temperature
Other accessories
Screws and fasteners for fixing and connecting the parts of the pen.
T-bolts for fixing the pen panels and posts.
Cast iron legs to provide support for the use of composite panels, not limited to nursery pens, farrowing pens, gestation pens, etc.
In the end ，the choice of s should be based on the specific space design and functional requirements.Cost and ease of maintenance are important too. For example, cast iron is better than BMC because it can be recovered, even though there is little difference in price nowadays.
Choose wisely and build a solid foundation for your piggery building journey.
