Tailor-built halls for pigs

The AGE halls for pig breeding are the own product of AGE s.r.o. Each hall is designed with regard to the specific location, altitude, snow load, and technology to meet the requirements of the statics, in variants with or without cladding, and with or without thermal insulation.

The construction of the pig house is hot-dip galvanised steel using PIR panels which, unlike more traditional PUR panels, have a higher fire resistance. Another advantage is their very good thermal insulation, which helps to maintain an optimal microclimate inside the hall. The PVC surface treatment makes the panels more resistant to higher concentrations of ammonia. The floor is made of polished concrete with mineral infill, which significantly reduces its abrasion when the hall is removed.

AGE halls are beneficial not only in terms of the high level of welfare they provide for the animals but also in terms of energy consumption and better biosecurity compliance due to the wider cleaning and disinfection options. They are characterized by a fast financial return due to cost savings.

Dimensions

• Width of the hall - according to customer requirements
• Hall length - standard module multiple of 4.5 m. Can be adjusted according to customer requirements

Roof

• Roof covering - trapezoidal roof sheet or roof panel
• Soffit - standard 100 mm PIR sandwich panel (heat transfer coefficient Uc=0,22 W/m2K). Can be adapted according to customer's requirement

Sheathing

• Walls - standard 80 mm PIR sandwich panel (heat transfer coefficient Uc=0.27 W/m2K). Can be adapted to customer's requirements
• Doors, gates - swing or sectional doors with dimensions according to the customer's requirements

AGE offers individual ventilation solutions for pig farming according to customer requirements

• Classical ventilation
• Under-grating ventilation - ensures a stable and homogeneous microclimate in the stall

Subgrid ventilation:

Supply air is routed through the space under the floor through a ventilation duct (separate from the slurry duct). The ventilation duct is filled with fresh air and is either fed directly under the trough of the animal (individual housing, farrowing room), or the centre aisle is filled with fresh air and the fresh air then "overflows" into the pen with the animals (piglet rearing, group housing of sows, fattening of pigs). The air can be preheated in the ventilation duct by means of the delta tubes supplied by Slaats. It is also possible to install coolers in the supply ventilation duct. This system is characterized by a uniform supply of fresh air to the animal zone, thus improving the living conditions and health of the animals, avoiding draughts.
