Pig pen door Pig house door

The pigsty gate and pigsty gate are important components of pig farm facilities. The following is a detailed introduction about them:

type

according to the materials

PVC door: It has the characteristics of corrosion resistance (based on actual reports), lightweight, easy to clean, insulation and moisture resistance (based on actual reports), smooth surface, and is not easy to adhere to dirt, which can reduce the growth of substances. Its profiles are mostly designed with hollow and multiple cavities, which can enhance strength and reduce weight. However, its load-bearing capacity is limited and suitable for small and medium-sized pigs, while large male pigs require additional reinforcement.

Galvanized steel pipe door: High strength, good corrosion resistance (based on actual reports), able to withstand collisions and arch bites from pigs. There are various shapes that can be customized according to needs, such as grid like and fence like, which are easy to observe the situation of pigs and have good ventilation effect.

Stainless steel doors: have strong corrosion resistance (based on actual reports), are not easy to rust, have good practicality, have a clean and beautiful appearance, are easy to clean and disinfect, and can maintain a good sanitary environment. But the cost is relatively high and the weight is also large, so it is necessary to pay attention to fixing firmly during installation.

Wooden doors: have definite insulation properties, relatively soft texture, and minimal damage to pigs. But it is prone to moisture and decay, requiring waterproof treatment (based on actual reports), and is not resistant to pig bites, with a relatively short service life.

classification by function

Ordinary enclosure door: mainly used to separate different pigsties, control the range of pig activities, prevent pigs from running around, and protect the breeding order. Usually installed in passages or entrances between pigsties.

Delivery room door: It needs to have good insulation and sealing to provide a warm, quiet, and hygienic environment for sows and piglets. At the same time, the size of the door should be convenient for sows to enter and exit, as well as for staff to take care of and operate.

Isolation door: used to temporarily isolate sick pigs or newly added pigs to prevent the spread of actual disease and mutual interference between pigs. Generally installed at the entrance and exit of isolation or sick pig houses.

Passage door: connects the inside and outside of the pigsty or different functional areas, such as feed storage area, disinfection area, manure treatment area, etc., facilitating the entry and exit of personnel, vehicles, and materials, and protecting the smooth progress of breeding production.

size

Pig house exterior door: generally 1.5-2.0 meters wide and 2.0-2.4 meters high, it is convenient for feed transport vehicles, manure cleaning vehicles and other equipment to enter and exit, and can also protect pigs from being evacuated smoothly in emergency situations.

Inner door of pigsty: The height of the large pigsty door should be 0.9-1 meters, and the width should be 0.7-0.8 meters; The height of the piglet pigsty door should be 0.8-1 meters, and the width should be 0.6-0.7 meters; A height of 1.3 meters and a width of 0.7-0.8 meters are recommended for the gate of the boar pen; The optimal distance for piglet entry and exit is 0.3-0.4 meters.

Structure Design

Hinges and slides: hinges or slides are key components that connect doors and door frames. It is important to choose products with good quality and practicality, such as stainless steel hinges or PVC slides, to ensure that the door can open and close smoothly and withstand the weight of the door and collisions with pigs.

Lock buckle: The lock buckle design should be simple and practical, able to prevent pigs from opening the door, and convenient for staff to operate. Common ones include simple pins, spring locks, etc.

Observation window: Install an observation window on the door to facilitate staff to observe the activities, feeding, drinking, and other situations of pigs without opening the door, and promptly detect problems and take measures. The observation window can be made of transparent materials such as PVC board or glass.
