4 SWINE STEEL HOUSING EQUIPMENT Stanchions Hog Slat stanchion systems were designed with features and benefits to increase sow comfort, worker safety and producer efficiency in the barn. Our stanchion design is easily installed, and minimizes the amount of total maintenance and required training over the lifetime of the equipment. • Stanchion divider partitions are available with an open solid rod, solid sheet metal or PVC sheet design. • Hog Slat stanchion systems are available with multiple width and length options to adapt to any new construction or remodeling building project. • Stanchion equipment options provide flexibility in pen sizing to accommodate a variety of building dimensions and sow group sizes. • Optional double or single-sided stainless steel sow feeding trough options are available to protect concrete floors or allow feeding on total slat barns. • Available with bolt on feed pipe. Hog Slat stanchion systems are well suited to current US production practices: • Farm staff can more easily make the transition to a stanchion system because it uses the same feed delivery system as traditional gestation stall barns. • Stanchions do not require a staff highly trained in maintaining and troubleshooting complicated electronic systems. • Stanchions closely resemble traditional stall feeders which means sows do not have to go through a “training period” that ESF systems require. • Individual sows and sow groups are easily located in a barn, allowing them to be managed and cared for easier than other group housing systems. The bolt-together assembly design of Hog Slat stanchions allows for fast, aligned and squared installations every time. Stanchion layouts can be designed to integrate with existing feed systems, minimizing the need to train employees on operation and maintenance of complicated new equipment. • First, hot-dipped galvanized floor spacers are installed on the slats/flooring, and then stanchion panels are bolted in place and secured with matching top spacing bars. • Pre-punched floor and top spacing bars align with each other to ensure stanchion dividers are equally spaced and completely square from top to bottom. Simple Installation Flexibility Easy To Use
