When it comes to running your business, you know that a happy livestock will keep your business going strong. However, the right equipment can make all the difference in the efficiency of your operation and keep your animals safe and happy throughout the year. Using pig flush pans, for instance, inside your livestock barn is a simple way to improve conditions and make the space operate more smoothly. At Vittetoe, Inc. in Keota, IA, their team knows that a clean barn leads to happy pigs.

Here are a few ways that using pig flush pans in your indoor facility can help your business:

• Limit Bacterial Growth: Without the right equipment, keeping your barn clean inside and out can be a real hassle. With pig flush pans, you can spray down the surface as needed without worrying about exposing your pigs to harmful bacteria or mold. The pan itself can be removed for thorough cleaning as needed, giving you complete control over the cleanliness and conditions of your facility.
• Reduce Cleaning Time: Pig flush pans are designed to make cleaning the pens significantly easier. Rather than having to constantly scoop, scrub, and muck out the pens, you will flush the waste away as often as needed. This frees up time for you to work on other parts of your business rather than spending hours each day cleaning up after your livestock
• Improves Conditions for Farrowing: Newborn pigs are hardy, but they can get cold easily, especially if they’re laying on packed dirt or concrete underneath their bedding. These flooring materials hold moisture and increase the humidity inside the barn, causing some stress in newly farrowed litters. Pig flush pans keep them off the ground and allow the piglets to maintain more consistent body temperature when the weather fluctuates.
