The pen area per pig is the most permanent decision made before production begins. Once concrete is poured and walls are built, the floor space available to each animal is…
Organic agricultural products right to your table!
The Housing & Farm Infrastructure category is the engineering blueprint for your piggery, focusing on how to design and build a high-efficiency commercial facility. This section provides detailed guides on choosing the right layouts—such as low-cost deep litter systems versus intensive concrete and slotted flooring setups—to maximize animal comfort and claw health. Readers will find practical insights on pen dimensions, automated feeding setups, and optimizing farrowing house layouts to protect newborn piglets.
In addition to physical construction, this category delivers essential strategies for climate control and waste management. It covers how to combat heat stress through smart natural ventilation and evaporative cooling systems, ensuring pigs maintain steady growth rates in any climate. Furthermore, it addresses the technical side of modern agribusiness infrastructure, providing actionable blueprints for waste drainage, liquid manure storage, and eco-friendly biogas digesters that turn farm waste into an operational asset.

The pig pen built incorrectly costs twice as much. It costs the materials and labor to build it. Then it costs the production losses — from inadequate drainage creating wet…
Water is the most important nutrient a pig consumes, and the one most consistently undervalued in farm design. A finishing pig at 80 kg live weight drinks 8–12 liters per…
Lameness is the third most economically significant health problem in commercial pig production globally, behind reproductive failure and respiratory disease. It costs the industry billions in treatment, reduced growth performance,…
The conventional pig house asks one thing of the farmer every day without exception: move the manure. Scrape the concrete, push it into the channel, flush the drains, repeat —…
