The 24-page booklet provides an objective review of the advantages and disadvantages of using a hoop structure for swine housing. Specialists in swine production say producers who are investigating the possibility of putting up a hoop-type structure for housing swine will find a number of manufacturers are offering these units for sale. The downside of this is that producers also will find that little verifiable data is available to help them decide if a hoop structure is a good investment. The publication also summarizes information about hoop structure design and use. It shows some of the differences in management techniques that hoop structures require, and it discusses feed, bedding, and labor requirements for hoop structures.
