My flooring is suited to the age of the pig that is housed on it. Some animals are housed in units to small for them All stock that is housed in single holding units can stand up and lie down comfortably. The height, width and length of single housing units should allow the pig to stand freely or lie comfortable without its body touching both sides. I have an alarm with a portable generator or another appropriate contingency plan. I have an automatic generator that will provide backup power immediately.
Power outages can kill large numbers of pigs very quickly.
You need to have a backup power source or be able to provide a sufficient flow of air into all areas of the barn on very short notice. All pigs are fed daily All pigs should be fed daily. This practice is only acceptable if roughage is provided on skipped days. I don't seek professional advice when formulating diets. I regularly consult with a nutritionist to formulate diets.
