Basic Info
Equipment providing localized environmental control for weaned piglets.It helps piglets smoothly transition through the weaning stress period by offering a dry,warm slatted resting area with an independent heated zone,reducing diarrhea and improving survival rates and growth speed.
Customer reviews
Dr. Ben Carter · Resident Veterinarian
Its dustproof and waterproof design is fully adapted to the barn environment. The early pregnancy diagnosis (at 28 days) accuracy exceeds 95%. Combined with the rectal probe, we can efficiently monitor the herd's ovarian synchronization protocols, doubling our reproductive management efficiency.
Camilla Rossi · Environmental Control Engineer
After installing 32 of your tunnel fans throughout our finishing barns, the pigs' respiratory rates dropped significantly during summer. I'm most impressed with the motors' IP55 rating—after two years in a high-humidity, high-ammonia environment, there has been no corrosion or insulation failure, and the energy consumption data perfectly matches the technical manual specifications.
Sarah Benson · Operations Manager
The temperature control stability of our new single-stage incubators exceeded expectations. Even at full capacity, temperature variance across the cabinet remained within ±0.15°C, which is critical for chick uniformity. The integrated remote alarm system once provided timely warning of a water pressure anomaly, preventing a potential loss.
Product Description
Product Features:
The design focuses on"dry,warm,and draft-free."The slatted floor separates manure/urine from the piglets'resting area,keeping the bed dry and hygienic,reducing pathogen spread.The integrated heated plastic-steel plate provides localized radiant heat,mimicking the sow's warmth and meeting the piglets'need for a"microclimate within the macro-environment."This significantly reduces huddling,crushing,and energy loss due to cold.The plastic-steel material offers good insulation,is non-absorbent,corrosion-resistant,and easy to clean/disinfect.Smooth surrounds prevent injury to piglets.The overall design facilitates assembly,movement,and soak disinfection.

Product Specifications:
The heated plate typically has a power of 100-200W with an independent waterproof thermostat,maintaining the resting surface temperature at 28-32°C(adjustable).Slat gaps are about 10mm wide,allowing manure passage without trapping feet.The pen frame is 30-40 cm off the ground for easy under-pen cleaning and ventilation.The equipment is often modular,allowing multiple pens to be joined.Feeder capacity and height are adjustable for growing piglets.Drinkers are installed at an appropriate height to minimize water wastage.

Product Application:
Specifically designed for the weaned piglet nursery stage on pig farms(typically from weaning to around 10 weeks of age).It is the standard configuration in modern piglet nursery rooms.During the critical weeks post-weaning,piglets face multiple stressors:psychological,nutritional,and environmental.The superior microclimate created by the nursery pen effectively compensates for weaning weight loss,promotes feed intake,enhances immunity,and keeps weaning mortality very low.Its hygienic,dry environment is also fundamental for implementing"all-in/all-out"batch management,crucial for controlling diseases like post-weaning diarrhea,directly impacting batch uniformity in the nursery and subsequent finishing performance.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q:Is the power consumption of the heated plastic-steel plates high? How to save energy?
A:Power consumption is reasonable (typically 100-200W per square meter). Energy savings over 60% compared to whole-room heating are achieved through precise temperature control (set at 30-32°C) and good barn insulation, heating only the lying area.
Q:What are the advantages of plastic-steel slatted floors compared to traditional cast iron floors?
A:Advantages are clear: better insulation, non-absorbent (stays dry), corrosion-resistant, lightweight, easy to wash and disinfect, smooth surface that doesn't injure hooves, offering higher overall benefits.
Q:How to ensure a smooth temperature transition when moving piglets from the farrowing room to the nursery pen?
A:Preheat the heated zone of the nursery pen to 30-32°C at least 24 hours before transfer. Ensure the temperature difference between the farrowing room and nursery does not exceed 3°C, and add anti-stress nutrients to the drinking water.
Q:How to perform thorough and effective disinfection between batches for the nursery pen?
A:First, clean with high-pressure hot water to remove organic matter. Then, spray or soak with a broad-spectrum disinfectant. Finally, ensure complete drying. The seamless, non-absorbent plastic-steel plates ensure effective disinfectant contact and rapid drying.
Q:How is manure cleaned from under the pen? Will odor and ammonia accumulate?
A:Manure falls through the slats into the gutter below, which is regularly cleared by a scraper or pull-plug system. Keeping the bed surface dry, ensuring good ventilation, and timely removal of under-pen manure effectively controls odor and ammonia.
Q:How many years can a set of nursery pens typically last?
A:With normal use and maintenance, high-quality hot-dip galvanized frames and engineering plastic components can last 8-10 years or more. Core components like heating plates usually come with a 2-3 year warranty.
