What the house does
The finishing house raises pigs from the end of the nursery stage to market weight. It usually has the largest number of pig places on the farm, so small improvements in feeding, climate and labour have a big effect.
What to plan
| Item | Notes |
|---|---|
| Pens | Panels and gates strong enough for heavy pigs |
| Floor | Concrete, partly slatted or fully slatted |
| Feeding | Automatic line from silo to pen, with dry or dry-wet feeders |
| Water | Drinkers at the right height and flow |
| Climate | Ventilation, cooling in hot weather |
| Manure | Scrapers or slurry pits, linked to treatment |
