Study Notes
Housing Systems for Swine Production
- The Philippines has a recommended standard for swine housing, known as PAES 401:2001, which specifies minimum requirements for swine housing.
- There are four types of housing systems: one-unit, two-unit, three-unit, and four-unit systems.
One-Unit System
- Sows and piglets remain in the same building from farrowing until they reach the desired weight for slaughtering.
Two-Unit System
- Sows and piglets remain in the farrowing house until weaning, then weanlings are transferred to a growing-finishing house.
Three-Unit System
- Sows and piglets remain in the farrowing house until weaning, then weanlings are moved to a nursery house, and finally to a growing-finishing unit.
Four-Unit System
- Sows and piglets remain in the farrowing house until weaning, then weanlings are moved to a nursery house, then to a growing house, and finally to a finishing house until they are ready for slaughter.
Space Requirements
- Minimum space requirements for swine are specified in Table 1 of the PAES 401:2001 standard.
Concrete Slat Specifications
- Recommended specifications for concrete slat design are shown in Table 3 and Figure 7.
- Span, slat dimensions, and reinforcing bar requirements are specified.
Flooring Requirements
- For swine under 20 kg, flattened expanded metal (20 mm, 9 –11 gauge) shall be used.
- Welded wire flooring shall be made of 5.3 mm (5 gauge) wire spaced at 12.5 mm, 15 mm or 18 mm.
- Plastic flooring shall be coated with a rough surface.
Lighting Requirements
- Lighting intensity requirements are specified in Annex C of the PAES 401:2001 standard.
Sample Production Calculations
- Sample calculations for a 24-sow level fattener production are shown in Annex B of the PAES 401:2001 standard.
