The functions and advantages of the delivery box
Functions and advantages of creating a comfortable delivery environment:The delivery of sows is a critical and sensitive process that requires a quiet and comfortable environment. The pig delivery box adopts a partitioned design, usually including a sow restriction area and a piglet activity area. The size of the sow restriction zone has been scientifically planned, with a width generally ranging from 0.6-0.7 meters and a length of about 2-2.2 meters. It can effectively limit the sow's large movements and prevent it from frequently turning around or injuring piglets when lying down. At the same time, anti slip and soft pads are laid at the bottom of the limit area to reduce the discomfort of sows when standing and lying down, lower the risk of leg diseases, provide stable and comfortable delivery space for sows, and help them give birth smoothly. According to statistics, using a delivery box can reduce the mortality rate of piglets caused by sow pressure injuries by 40% to 50%.
Piglet safety protection function and advantages:The piglet activity area is set on both sides or in front of the sow restriction zone, with a height of generally 0.5-0.6 meters, surrounded by fences to effectively prevent piglets from running out, avoiding being trampled by sows or threatened by the external environment. In addition, some delivery boxes are equipped with insulation boxes or heating plates in the piglet activity area, continuing the insulation function of pig breeding insulation boxes and providing a warm small environment for piglets. Appropriate temperature can reduce diseases such as hypoglycemia and diarrhea caused by cold in piglets, and improve their survival rate. At the same time, the piglet activity area is also equipped with feeding troughs and water dispensers, which facilitate early exposure of piglets to feed and water, promote their growth and development, and increase the survival rate of piglets by 20% -30% compared to an unprotected breeding environment.
Health and epidemic prevention guarantee function and advantages:The structural design of the pig delivery box is easy to clean and disinfect, which is beneficial for the hygiene and epidemic prevention work of the breeding farm. The bottom of the box is often designed with a leakage plate, through which feces and urine can fall into the manure ditch below, reducing the contact between feces and sows and piglets, and keeping the environment inside the box clean. The surface of the fecal leakage board is smooth and free of dead corners, making it easy for aquaculture personnel to quickly clean up residual feces and debris. At the same time, the overall material of the delivery box is corrosion-resistant and easy to clean. Breeding personnel can regularly use disinfectants to thoroughly disinfect the box, effectively killing bacteria, reducing the risk of infection in sows and piglets, reducing the spread of diseases, and ensuring the health of the pig herd.
Convenient aquaculture management functions and advantages:The design of the delivery box fully considers the operational convenience of the breeding personnel. There are adjustable fences or movable doors on both sides, making it convenient for breeding personnel to assist, observe, and care for sows during delivery. At the same time, the location of the feeding trough and water dispenser is convenient for breeding personnel to add feed and replace drinking water, improving feeding efficiency. In addition, the layout of the delivery box is compact and neatly arranged, which facilitates centralized management of sows and piglets by breeding personnel. Real time observation of the delivery status of each sow and the growth status of piglets can detect abnormalities in a timely manner and take measures, greatly improving the efficiency and accuracy of breeding management.
Improving the efficiency, functions, and advantages of aquaculture:By providing a good growth environment for sows and piglets, the pig delivery box effectively reduces piglet mortality, increases piglet survival rate and weaning weight, and shortens the breeding cycle. After healthy growing piglets enter the fattening stage, their growth rate is faster, their feed conversion rate is higher, and ultimately they can increase the number and weight of pigs slaughtered, bringing higher economic benefits to farmers. According to actual breeding data, using pig delivery boxes can provide 2-3 more weaned piglets per sow per year, significantly improving the overall income of the farm.
