The Importance of Slatted Floors
In modern pig production, to ensure a hygienic and comfortable environment in pig farms and reduce cleaning workload, the use of slatted floors above manure channels is widespread. However, with the wide variety of slatted floors on the market, how can pig farms make an informed choice? This article will explore this topic.
◇ Classification and Characteristics of Slatted Floors
When choosing slatted floors, attention should be paid to the floor's corrosion resistance, stability, slip resistance, thermal conductivity, and durability. The width of the floor gaps is also crucial; it must accommodate the walking and standing needs of pigs of different ages, ensuring that pig hooves are not trapped.
◇ Cement Concrete Slatted Floors
Cement concrete slabs are widely used in pig farms' breeding and gestation houses, and fattening houses due to their flexible design, which allows them to be made into both slabs and strips. Cement concrete slatted floors are widely used in pig farms, favored for their low cost and durability. However, their manufacturing process requires strict adherence to specifications, ensuring that the cement grade matches the design drawings.
◇ Metal Slatted Floors
Metal slatted floors are made by arranging and welding or weaving metal strips into a mesh. Their characteristic is a large gap percentage , allowing manure and urine to fall smoothly, while preventing clogging and maintaining good slip resistance. This type of flooring promotes cleanliness and dryness in the pen, and is therefore widely used in intensive pig production.
◇ Plastic Slatted Floors
Plastic slatted floors are made using a molding process with engineering plastics, and have the advantages of easy assembly and disassembly, light weight, high corrosion resistance, and durability. Compared to concrete, metal, and stone floors, it provides a warmer environment. However, because its surface is slippery, it may not be stable enough for heavier pigs. Therefore, this type of flooring is more suitable for piglets in nursery pens or farrowing pens.
◇ Temperature Control Floors
Temperature control floors use a heat exchanger as their core, and are constructed using cement-based materials to create a flat structure that is easy to move and transport. The floor has dedicated inlets and outlets , making it easy to connect to the water supply pipes for flexible temperature control.
◇ BMC Composite Slatted Boards
Slatted boards, a new type of flooring made by combining unsaturated resin, low-shrinkage agent, and various fiber materials, and pressed with a threaded steel bar frame. It has many advantages , such as high strength, no damage to nipples and pig hooves, waterproof, acid and alkali corrosion resistance, not easy to age, easy to clean, and the characteristics of not needing beams and easy transportation. In pig farms, this type of flooring has become an indispensable part, especially in large-scale pig farms, such as farms with more than 50 pigs, almost all will choose to use this type of pig slatted floor. It not only saves labor costs, but also effectively prevents the breeding of mosquitoes and flies and the spread of viruses in pig farms.
