Heating plates ensure comfort for piglets in farrowing and weaner pens
Increase the weight gain of your piglets and the overall efficiency of your farm
Comfort for newborn piglets
Heating plates play a vital role in ensuring piglets' well-being and optimal growth in farrowing and weaner pens. Newborn piglets, with their sparse body hair, limited energy reserves, and poor cold resistance, require a carefully controlled environment for healthy development. When mounting the heating plates in your farrowing pens, you provide constant comfort for them.
Increase in weight gain
There are many benefits of utilizing heating plates in pig farming. One of the primary advantages is the substantial increase in weight gain among piglets. A warm and cozy environment allows piglets to channel their energy into growth rather than expanding it to regulate body temperature. This efficient energy use translates directly into accelerated weight gain, a key metric in any pig farming operation. As the piglets grow optimally, the farm's overall efficiency is enhanced, leading to a more productive and profitable venture.
The overall efficiency of the farm
Moreover, heating plates contribute to the overall efficiency and sustainability of the farm. The heating plates indirectly impact the production cycle by promoting healthier and faster piglet growth. Well-nourished and robust piglets are more likely to develop into healthy, high-quality adults, ready for market. This, in turn, boosts the farm's reputation and profitability in the long run.
