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.
