Requirements for the use and installation disinfection steps of sow farrowing beds

The sow delivery bed, also known as the high training farrowing pen, is mainly composed of sow positioning frame, piglet fence, piglet insulation box, leakage floor, sow feeding trough, and piglet feeding trough

The sow delivery bed fully satisfies the needs of sow delivery. After delivery, the sow and piglets move in their respective areas, satisfying the piglets' feeding needs while protecting them from being crushed or injured by the sow. It creates an independent and suitable temperature environment for the piglets, satisfying the different temperature requirements of piglets and sows. Support beam: The sow bed support beam is made of ductile iron. The use of sow beds not only changes the outdated practice of using adobe walls, but also improves the survival rate of piglets, reduces crushing and biting, reduces diseases and epidemics, facilitates piglet growth, and facilitates management. The sow trough is welded with 2mm steel plates, while the piglet trough is welded with 0.8mm steel plates

Sow delivery bed surface: The sow part of the bed surface uses ductile iron leakage floor, and the piglet part uses high-strength plastic leakage board, while satisfying the growth needs of sows and piglets to the greatest extent possible. The guardrail of the sow delivery bed is welded with one inch steel pipes, and the fence is a 6-inch steel pipe frame. The sow position of the delivery bed is made of high-strength ductile iron leakage plate, and the two sides are made of engineering polypropylene plastic material leakage plate (pure material, long service life). The product includes a sow cast iron material trough and a piglet feeding tray. Bed frame: The bed frame is made of hot-dip galvanized pipes welded together, which is sturdy

The specifications of economical farrowing beds include: 1800 * 2200 * 1000mm, 1700 * 2200 * 1000mm, supporting beams, bed frames, and bed surfaces. Each farrowing bed can be equipped with an insulated box, heating lamp, and piglet electric heating plate. Three methods of painting. Three methods of painting. The sow trough is welded with 2mm steel plates, while the piglet trough is welded with 0.8mm steel plates. The overall treatment of the sow bed can be achieved through galvanizing or plastic dipping

The importance of sow bed material:

The hot-dip galvanizing pig bed is produced by welding the fence pieces and other components, and then using the hot-dip galvanizing process to isolate the pig bed from the contact between iron and air. Therefore, this type of sow bed generally has a longer service life and is also a fence equipment that is less prone to corrosion. Can provide a healthy and comfortable environment and activity space for newborn piglets. The other parts of the high bed feeding have the same design function and purpose as the European sow delivery bed

So the activity area of sows is limited and separated from that of piglets at the head. So the fence on the entire sow bed should be made of smooth materials that are easy to clean, provide good hygiene conditions, prevent the accumulation and reproduction of live animals, and reduce environmental factors such as piglet diseases

Generally speaking, in order to create a clean and hygienic delivery environment, allowing sows to recover quickly after childbirth and fully unleash their production potential. For pig bed equipment, it is necessary to facilitate the management of sows and piglets, while also protecting piglets from being crushed by sows

Requirements for the use of sow bed equipment

The sow bed equipment is an important component of modern factory pig farming equipment. After using the sow bed, the survival rate of piglets is high and the working time of users is reduced. In terms of use, in order to improve the effectiveness of the bed, what conditions do pig farms need to meet when using the bed?

1、 The height of the sow's farrowing bed should be appropriate: Adjusting the height of the farrowing bed can help regulate the temperature in the mother's pigsty. The lower the temperature and humidity, the more susceptible it is to bad winds. The survey found that the actual production height will be from 20cm to 45cm, and the incidence rate of Escherichia coli in Zizhu will decrease by 50%~70%. According to the law, growth in sow reproduction can be divided into five stages: gilding, pregnancy in sows, sow delivery, and sowing in lactating sows. The quality of feeding management at each stage directly affects the growth of sows and their value

2、 The fence should be flat, the delivery bed should be flat, and in order to avoid the phenomenon of sows killing piglets, there is also a warm box specially designed for piglets, which can escape the cold inside in cold weather. The sow should be delivered two weeks before delivery and the delivery bed should be washed clean

3、 Keeping the pigsty dry for more than 2 days: Sows enter the delivery room one week before delivery to adapt to the new environment. I will keep the sow bed clean, dry, quiet and comfortable, with fresh air, winter sunshine, and maintain the internal temperature

Installation instructions for sow delivery bed:

1、 Fix the six legs and frame of the delivery bed (including four 1.8-meter flower beams at the front and back, and two 2.1-meter vertical beams on both sides) with screws, but do not tighten too tightly for easy adjustment

2、 The spacing between the vertical beams under the bed is 50cm, 60cm, 70cm, 70cm, 60cm, 50cm in sequence. Use screws to secure the beams to the flower beams, taking care not to tighten them too tightly for easy adjustment

3、 The order of floor laying is (span): 50cm, 60cm, 70cm, 70cm, 60cm, 50cm

4、 Installation of delivery bed rack: a、 Install a 2.1-meter fence and two 45cm small gates at the front and back, connected to the fence with short iron bars; b、 The main frame is connected to the flower beam with screws at the bottom and to other parts of the frame with iron bars; c、 Other parts are similar to installation. Two 1.4-meter fences are installed in the middle of the delivery bed and connected to the main frame with iron bars. Above the main frame, use& quot; U& quot; Connect the clamp to a 65cm iron pipe

5、 Place the insulation box in the middle and secure it with a 2.1-meter iron pipe. The sow trough is fixed to the front door with screws. Squeeze the screw of the piglet feeding trough with your hand, insert it into the underground floor, and fix it by rotating it

6、 Check and tighten all screws to complete the installation

Steps for sow delivery bed:

1、 Remove various items from the delivery room, including insulated lamps, notebooks, insulation boards, etc., and clean the feces and other debris under the delivery bed and in the manure ditch

2、 Rinse the ground bed with a high-pressure water gun, and then sprinkle with 2% caustic soda water. Caustic soda water not only has the function of foaming, but also helps to clean up the feces stuck to the ground and railings. However, caustic soda water has a strong corrosive effect on iron railings, especially those that have not been fully hot-dip galvanized. Therefore, attention should be paid when using it

3、 After spraying caustic soda water for 1-2 hours, rinse the delivery room with a high-pressure water gun, paying special attention to the railings and corners of the floor. Pay attention to the surroundings of the fence, doors and windows, tile surfaces (ceilings), utensils, material troughs, etc., and clean them meticulously

4、 After cleaning, close the doors and windows of the delivery room tightly, and fumigate with potassium permanganate and formalin. During fumigation, the delivery room should be sealed and not breathable; Broad spectrum solution can also be used, using two different types of drugs divided into two doses

5、 Leave the delivery room vacant for more than 2 days and transfer the sows after it is dry inside
