Complete with illustrated pictures of equipment and diagrams of building layouts, this 16-page handbook contains practical details needed to build new sow housing or convert existing stalls to group housing. Download your free copy at www.hogslat.com Let us show you why more producers are choosing stanchions as their group housing option. Hog Slat is the industry leader in group housing with over 600,000 stanchion conversions or new projects completed. Stanchions offer these advantages over ESF and free access stalls. • Well-suited to current U.S. producton practices. Farm staff can more easily make the transition to a stanchion system because it utilizes the same feed delivery system and penning. Does not require a staff highly trained in maintaining complicated electronics. • This design lends itself to a wide range of group sizes with a lot of flexibility in pen and building dimensions - an important consideration with remodel projects. • Lower initial equipment costs than either ESF systems or free access stalls and less equipment to maintain and repair. Stanchion systems require over 14% less floor space than floor plans utilizing free access stalls. • More control over feeding compared to floor-fed pen systems. Feeding stanchions may also be used with total slats simplifying manure handling and pen management. Hog Slat’s integrated stanchion system features solid rod construction with a powder epoxy paint or hot-dipped galvanized finish. Optional double or single-sided stainless steel trough completes the installation.
