Can’t build a pig farm? What are the factors that affect the success of pig farm construction?
        Many people who have not been exposed to the breeding industry think that raising pigs is very simple. In fact, raising pigs is not as simple as imagined. In addition to requiring a large amount of capital investment, it also requires scientific technology. Even the construction of pig farms requires reasonable arrangements, otherwise serious losses will result.
        When building a new pig farm, it is necessary to fully consider pig farm construction, changes in climate conditions, pig farm site selection, feed formula, and legal and regulatory issues during design, so that variables can be reduced as much as possible during construction. In the early stages of planning and designing a new large-scale pig farm, all aspects of construction planning need to be considered!

Factors for successful pig farm construction:
Among many factors, proper construction and climate systems are crucial. Most pig farms have made great progress in planning and design in recent decades, but we were surprised to find that even on some of the newer farms, there were many areas where the planning and design fell short, although this could be chalked up to budget shortfalls. , but compromises during construction may have certain adverse consequences for breeding production.


Climatic conditions in some countries vary greatly
        Some countries have a variable climate and experience various changes in natural conditions. For example, Asia has cold and dry winters in the north and hot and humid summers in the south; severe storms and typhoons may also occur in some areas, which will affect the choice of pig house construction and climate systems.
        New farms are getting larger and larger, but qualified employees are becoming harder to find; even varieties with high-performance genetics may be sensitive to extreme climatic conditions; during hot seasons, feed intake, Factors such as fertility, feed conversion and heat stress can all be affected, and ideal pig house construction and climate systems can mitigate these production variability factors. Well-insulated pig house construction and a well-managed ventilation system help conserve heat energy and improve air quality within the pig house.


 Poor thermal insulation effect or air leakage
        If the pig house has poor thermal insulation or air leakage, the temperature can be kept stable under extreme conditions, but what often happens is poor air circulation, increased harmful gases, and increased humidity, which in turn increases the risk of respiratory diseases. In general, the cooling system in a pig house with poor thermal insulation effect or air leakage will not work well.
        When designing a farm, it is necessary to conduct a detailed analysis and summary of the climatic conditions where the farm is located, and use this information to design the farm plan and indoor layout.
        As we all know, a proportion of production costs is feed costs. We should continue to explore effective feeding strategies, find ways to improve utilization or reduce waste, and improve formulas or feeding techniques to save feed costs. Even small improvements can bring significant profit improvements.
        It is also important to equip new pig farms with traceability equipment, new technologies and automation. Information technology helps quickly collect accurate data and information and helps operators make effective business decisions. Therefore, the requirements for employee qualifications are getting higher and higher, and the demand is growing.


Regulations on pollution, emissions and odors
The rapid development of the livestock industry will inevitably promote the emergence of corresponding legislation, which covers pollution, emissions, odors, resources and animal welfare. It is likely that elements of these legislation will be implemented soon, so these factors need to be taken into account when designing your pig farm.
