Abstract

The limiting factor for completing the production cycle of young fattening pigs in this compact pig farm is the available housing capacity required to complete the entire process.
This pig farm comprises the following facilities: Mating pen – controlled breeding; Gestation pen – sows during pregnancy; Farrowing pen – where sows give birth and care for piglets; Nursery pen – weaned piglets’ growth phase; Finisher pen – pigs to reach market-ready weight; Cyclone dust collectors – equipment that removes dust from the air.
The pig farm, with its existing available capacity and the construction completed up to the farrowing house, will not deliver the expected results, because only part of the reproduction cycle ends there. For this reason, it is proposed to proceed with additional construction of the facility for the following phases: Rearing unit - Phase 'B' - In this part of the facility, piglets with an average weight of 5–7 kg will be housed until they will achieve a weight gain of 18 kg.; Fattening unit - In this part of the facility, piglets with a live weight of 25 kilograms will be housed, and here they will continue with the fattening phase; Cyclonesstorage - capacity for fattening feed; In the rearing and fattening units, should be installed, a complete water supply system, electrical installation and internet and network equipment.
In addition to the developed models for the farm’s technological process, ICT solutions have been implemented through the creation of an information system, where every change during the technological process is recorded electronically. It also allows reviewing and comparing with previous processes.
