Pig farming facilities
The farming model and the sizing of buildings, systems, and technologies are true production factors, playing a key role in operational efficiency, consistency of results, and the overall profitability of the farm.
TYPES OF PIG FARMING SYSTEMS
Open-cycle system
In an open-cycle system, the farm is specialized in one or more production phases (for example, piglets or finishing), while the remaining phases are entrusted to external facilities. In this case, the project is designed to maximize efficiency and functionality within the individual section.
In an open-cycle system, the farm is organized to manage only certain phases of the overall production cycle (which includes reproduction, weaning, growing, and finishing), while the remaining phases are entrusted to external facilities.
TYPES OF PIG FARMING SYSTEMS
Closed-cycle system
In a closed-cycle system, all production stages (gestation, farrowing, weaning, growing, and finishing) are managed within the same farm. This production model is more complex than the open-cycle system and requires greater expertise, as well as the operation of several specialized units. However, an integrated closed-cycle farm can offer greater resilience to market fluctuations.
THREE FARMING MODELS
Farming models: indoor, bedded, and outdoor
There are three main farming methods: confined housing systems with partially slatted or fully slatted floors, bedded systems, and outdoor systems.
THREE FARMING METHODS
Confined housing: innovative prefabricated pig houses
These facilities are designed as integrated systems, where dry or liquid feeding systems, automatic controls, and stainless-steel equipment work in synergy to ensure management accuracy and operational continuity. The microclimate is managed precisely through computer-controlled dynamic ventilation, together with dedicated heating and cooling solutions.
High-insulation walls and perfectly washable internal surfaces ensure thermal insulation, hygiene, and long-term durability. The housing unit is not merely a structure, but a true strategic production factor, capable of directly influencing the farm’s efficiency, performance, and profitability.
THREE FARMING MODELS
Bedded pig houses
Modern bedded pig houses help reduce the animals’ energy requirements, improve the indoor microclimate, and provide favorable conditions even during the most sensitive stages, such as weaning.
THREE FARMING METHODS
Outdoor systems
Outdoor farming systems are suitable for contexts with sufficient land availability and require specific equipment to protect the animals and simplify monitoring and handling operations.
PRODUCTION OUTCOMES
From production organization to marketable outputs
Whether the goal is the production of weaned piglets, finishing pigs, meat pigs, or animals intended for the processing industry, every final outcome is the result of a consistently designed system. The right combination of farming model, equipment, systems, and management makes it possible to achieve uniform groups, production continuity, and a high level of process reliability, both in full-cycle operations and in specialized facilities.
