A swine complex with a complete technological solution — from idea to launch

An industrial-scale swine complex with 1,000 sows and a production capacity of 28,000+ finishing heads per year. Farmer Engineering supported the facility from the technological concept through to handover into operation.

This was not a project for a single system or a one-off equipment delivery. Farmer Engineering supported the facility from idea to handover: from the technological logic and choice of solutions through to kitting, installation, commissioning and on-site tuning.

In projects like this it is critical that all parts of the technology work as one system: section layout, animal groups, flooring, crates, slurry removal, ventilation, cooling, heating for piglets, feeding, watering, microclimate and daily operation must be aligned with each other already at the design stage.

To create a complete technological solution for a swine complex with a reproduction section, dedicated zones for different animal groups, a stable microclimate and systems capable of working in an intensive production regime.

  • 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 acted as a full technical partner of the project: from shaping the technological solution to installation and commissioning.

  • Development of the facility’s technological logic
  • Selection of equipment and systems
  • Kitting of the swine complex
  • Supply of technological equipment
  • Full installation
  • Commissioning and tuning of systems
  • Handover into operation

An industrial-scale swine complex where Farmer Engineering was responsible not for a single delivery but for the integrated technology and the practical implementation of the solution on site.

This case clearly shows the company’s core competence: designing, kitting, installing and commissioning technological systems for swine production as a single engineering system.
