We understand the precise conditions to achieve pig performance.
As a leading manufacturer of heating and ventilation products in the pig sector, our cost-effective and reliable systems are of the highest quality.
Since pigs are housed according to their age, the need to understand their precise heating and ventilation requirements is an important prerequisite of their environmental control.
Because of their sensitivity to temperature conditions at different stages of their growth cycle, the right environment ensures pigs display stable behaviour. As social animals, this is an important facet to their ability to interact with other pigs in the group, as they tend to be kept in large numbers in one defined area.
We provide a range of heating and ventilation products specifically designed for the pig sector, ensuring cost efficiency whilst enhancing the performance of your herd.
Pig Applications
Farrowing House
Providing the correct temperature in the Farrowing House is particularly important due to the pig’s high sensitivity at this stage and owing to the fact that a pig’s growth is critical to its performance in the future. Equally as important is that heating for the sow and piglets is considered separately when determining heating and ventilation, as they require significantly different temperatures.
Weaning House
With rapid growth at the weaner stage of accommodation, the pigs’ heat output begins to increase and temperature requirements decrease. Elta is able to provide the controlled environmental conditions to ensure the automatic operation of both the heating and ventilation systems as the need arises within the accommodation.
Fattening House
A larger pig’s heat output increases and temperature requirements fall, thus the ventilation systems in Fattening Houses require a higher capacity than the farrowing or weaning accommodation. The ventilation required at this stage of pig production means that the selection of fans and controls are fundamental for efficient operation.
Breeding Sows & Heavy Hogs
With a Elta ventilation system the air is directed towards the stock, combining with the warm air around the pigs and exhausting though the fan mounted in the roof mounted Agri-Jet Unit. Foul and dirty air is discharged vertically into the air, preventing fouling of the room and contamination of any water courses.
Abattoirs
The processes undertaken within an abattoir emit airborne microorganisms, moisture and dust. These contaminants are unwanted in the processing areas because they can affect product quality and safety. They also pose a potential threat to the health and wellbeing of the workers in the abattoir.
