A swine complex where the technology has to work as one system
A swine complex with 500 sows and a production capacity of 14,000+ finishing heads per year. Farmer Engineering supported this project from idea to handover into operation.
For a facility of this format it is not enough simply to choose the right equipment — it is equally important to think ahead about how sections, crates, flooring, gravity slurry removal, feeding, ventilation, cooling, local heating for piglets and microclimate control will work together.
In practice it is precisely these connections that determine whether a swine complex is easy to operate: how sections are serviced, how animals and staff move, how waste is removed, how the air regime is maintained and how the system behaves in different seasons.
To create a complete technological kit for the swine complex taking into account different animal groups, the production cycle, sanitary logic, a stable microclimate and the ongoing daily servicing of the facility.
- Gravity slurry removal
- Slatted concrete flooring
- Slatted plastic flooring
- Crates for all main sow groups
- Individual farrowing crates
- Individual insemination crates
- Group crates for pregnant sows
- Separate boar pen
- Feed distribution
- Feed dispensers
- Individual and group feeders
- Evaporative cooling panels
- Ventilation
- Local heating for piglets
- Microclimate control
Farmer Engineering was responsible for the full implementation cycle of the technological solution:
- Shaping the facility’s technological logic
- Selection of equipment and systems
- Kitting of the swine complex
- Equipment supply
- Full installation
- Commissioning and tuning
- Handover into operation
A swine complex with an integrated technological structure, where all the main systems were selected and installed as parts of a single production process.
This case clearly shows Farmer Engineering’s practical competence in delivering mid-scale industrial swine facilities.
