5 WWW.HOGSLAT.COM Top Strap Front Rods Floor Strap Double-Sided Configuration Single-Sided Configuration Practical Design Considerations Head-to-Head Layout • A preferred layout on new construction stanchion systems is a head-to-head feeding design; which reduces the total number of feed lines and maximizes the use of other equipment such as feed troughs and front aisle gates. • With all feeding stations located on one side of the pen; a clean, open pen design is created, providing the ability to easily monitor and observe sows while feeding and resting. Dual Side Layout • When remodeling existing stall buildings, stanchions can be installed on both sides of each pen to utilize existing troughs, feed lines and slats. • Stanchion spaces in the pens are still spaced far enough apart on both sides to prevent dominant sows from blocking traffic and allow all sows to freely move throughout the pen. Penning Hog Slat stanchion pens can be installed with walk-through posts and optional “saloon-style” doors. The 3” posts anchor the penning panels and allow workers to slip between them while checking sows in each pen. Hog Slat stanchion systems are flexible enough to be installed in a variety of barn designs; allowing new construction projects to maximize production efficiencies, and remodeling projects to incorporate existing feed lines and equipment into the layout to control investment costs during a transition.
