How should a pig farm's pig-raising greenhouse be built?

Pig raising was once a major source of income for rural farmers. Now, in order to protect the environment and conserve resources, rural areas in many places are no longer allowed to raise pigs freely on a household basis; instead, they must be raised in centralized operations, which makes management easier. For specialized pig farms, building a greenhouse is the first priority, so how should it be built? Let's take a look together below.

1. Site selection is key for building a pig-raising greenhouse

The first requirement for building a pig-raising greenhouse is choosing a suitable geographic location, because a greenhouse is not as sturdy as a cement wall, so generally you should choose a place that is sheltered from the wind or backed by a windbreak, which makes it more secure. For the terrain where the greenhouse is set up, it is best to choose a higher location, and it is also best if the place has convenient transportation, ample water, is dry and free of pollution. The place where the shed is built must not have a slope.

2. The formal construction of a pig-raising greenhouse

Before building the greenhouse, we must have a systematic plan, especially for the size of the greenhouse, which should be decided according to the scale of your farm. Generally, the length of a pig house is about 8-12 m and the width is about 4-6 m, and the orientation is best set east-west, so you do not have to worry about lighting. When building the pig house, it should be like building a house: best if it is warm in winter and cool in summer, facing south with its back to the north. Around the pig house, install roll-up curtains that can be pulled, so that ventilation can be done anytime and anywhere. To emphasize again, ventilation is very important, and this is also one of the conditions for healthy pig growth.

The area of the greenhouse pig house is best made of concrete flooring, which is more conducive to their survival. Each pig pen is best separated with iron railings, which makes management easier. Pig pens usually need a certain slope, and manure and urine channels should be built well, which helps the discharge of manure and urine and also helps clean the pig pens.

3. Building the feed troughs and water troughs in the greenhouse pig house

Water troughs and feed troughs are generally recommended to be separated and not used mixed together. The size design of the feed trough is best determined according to the amount being raised. Usually, one feed trough is about 2 m long and 10 cm deep, with spacing of about 30 cm, and it is more suitable to separate them with 1 steel bar, so that pigs can be prevented from getting into the feed trough and affecting the eating of the other pigs. The feed troughs and water troughs are best built on both sides of the pig pen, making management more convenient.

4. Methods for putting up the shed of a greenhouse pig house

The method for putting up the shed of a greenhouse pig house is usually double-layer construction, so that when winter temperatures are relatively low, the insulation effect is better, and at the same time, when summer sunlight is relatively strong, it can block part of the light.

5. Construction of the manure pit for a greenhouse pig house

The step of building a manure pit for a greenhouse pig house is indispensable, because environmental protection is now advocated everywhere, especially the environment of green mountains and clear waters, which must not be polluted. Therefore, when building a pig-raising greenhouse, a dedicated manure pit must be built. The construction cost is not high, and waste can be put to use, using biogas instead of natural gas. In addition, it can also be used as organic fertilizer for fertilizing vegetables, achieving three benefits at once.

You should now have an understanding of how a pig farm's pig-raising greenhouse should be built, and we hope it is helpful to you.
