Key Technical Points for Building a Pig-Raising Greenhouse on a Pig Farm

Our country is developing fairly quickly in all aspects nowadays, and rural construction has also been very rapid in recent years. Many areas have now abandoned traditional farming models and adopted modern ecological farming models. Greenhouse farming is one of the most common of these, so how should a pig farm's greenhouse be built? Let's take a look together below.

1. Site selection for greenhouse construction

We are all probably fairly clear that a greenhouse is not as sturdy as walls. So the site chosen for building a greenhouse is generally a wind-sheltered spot, or a wind-protected area; next, the construction site should have relatively high terrain, a low groundwater table, be relatively dry, have convenient transportation, and have an abundant, pollution-free water source. The construction site should look relatively flat overall, with no slopes.

2. Construction of the pig house and pig pens

The pig house should generally be 4 to 6 m wide and about 8 to 20 m long. The pig house is best oriented east-west, as this gives relatively good lighting. At the same time, just like building a house, it is best to face south with its back to the north, so it is warm in winter and cool in summer. Roller blinds then need to be set up around it for ventilation at any time. The floor needs to be finished with cement to give the pigs a comfortable environment. The pig pens generally only need to be about 25 sq m each, and each pig pen needs to be built with bricks or separated with iron railings, which makes management convenient and also gives good ventilation. The pig pens generally have a certain slope, and manure and urine gutters are built, which makes it convenient to discharge manure and urine and also convenient to clean the pig pens.

3. Construction of feed troughs and water troughs

Feed troughs and water troughs must be separate and must not be used interchangeably. The size of the feed troughs needs to be designed according to the number of pigs being raised; under normal circumstances each feed trough is about 2 m long and 10 cm deep, and about every 30 cm a steel bar needs to be used as a divider, so that pigs do not get into the feed trough and affect the eating of the other pigs. Feed troughs and water troughs are built on the two sides of the pig pen respectively, which makes management convenient.

4. Methods of building the greenhouse

When building the greenhouse, a double-layer construction method needs to be used, so that warmth retention in winter is relatively good, and at the same time shading in summer is also much better. When building the greenhouse, although vents are set up on all four sides, in order to maintain air circulation at least two vents also need to be set up at the top, but they should not directly face into the pig pens.

5. Construction of the manure pit

Building a manure pit is very necessary. The state now attaches great importance to environmental protection, and is continuously increasing the pressure on various projects and works that pollute the environment. Pig farm construction generally includes building a dedicated manure pit to handle the manure, food residue and so on from the pig farm. At present the most common treatment method is to build a manure fermentation pit; this method has relatively low construction cost, and can also make use of waste.

The above is what the editor introduced to you today about how a farm builds a farming greenhouse. I believe everyone now has a certain understanding of farming greenhouses. Here the editor reminds everyone that when buying a greenhouse, you should also pay attention to the quality of the greenhouse.
