What the house does
The nursery house takes piglets from weaning until they are ready for the finishing house. The first weeks after weaning are a sensitive period, so climate, feed access and clean water get special attention.
What to plan
| Item | Notes |
|---|---|
| Pens | Group size and space matched to piglet weight |
| Floor | Plastic slats are warm and easy to clean |
| Feeding | Hopper feeders; creep feeders for the transition |
| Water | Nipple drinkers or bowls at piglet height |
| Climate | Heating, ventilation and a controller that follows a temperature curve |
