Environmental Control Systems for Livestock (Swine/Hog) Barns

Ventilation + heating protect animal welfare and performance across farrowing, nursery, and finishing.
Our system covers negative-pressure exhaust, circulation/ventilation, and infrared heating for stable temperature, humidity, and air quality.
Ventilation has two goals: air exchange and air distribution—fresh air in, stale air out, and even mixing before removal.

Infrared Heating • Exhaust Fans (Negative Pressure / Tunnel) • Ventilation Fans (Circulation)

Infrared Heating (Farrowing & Nursery)

Localized creep heat for piglets without overheating sows.
Infrared bulbs with serviceable, splash-resistant fixtures and ceramic E27 holders.
Staged or variable output to match pen needs and reduce energy waste.
Widely used in swine/hog farrowing environments.

Exhaust Fans (Negative Pressure / Tunnel)

Create slight vacuum so fresh air enters through planned inlets and mixes properly.
Cone/box styles with shutters and balanced impellers for steady airflow.
Sized to meet static-pressure and mixing targets from minimum to tunnel stages.

Ventilation Fans (Circulation / Wall-Mounted)

Even out temperature, reduce heat-stress pockets, and support seasonal transitions.
Complement negative-pressure systems in aisles and pens.
Mesh-guarded, multi-speed options for targeted zones.

Selection & Sizing — Quick Guide

Start with goals: exchange + distribution via correctly placed inlets so incoming air has enough velocity to mix before reaching animals.
Static pressure (negative pressure barns): commonly referenced operating bands include ~0.04–0.08 in. w.c. (minimum/transition) and ~0.05–0.12 in. w.c. depending on design and season—verify for your swine/hog barn.
Tunnel airspeed: design references around ~300–400 fpm through the animal area (species/building geometry dependent).
Creep heat: infrared lamps remain a practical piglet heat source; compare with mats on the child page.

FAQs

How should I size fans for my swine/hog barn?

Start from ventilation goals and static pressure. Use inlets to control entry speed and mixing, then stage exhaust capacity for minimum/transition/tunnel needs.

When should I add circulation fans?

Use them to even temperatures, limit humidity pockets, and support seasonal transitions; they complement negative-pressure systems rather than replace them.

Are infrared heat lamps still recommended in farrowing?

Yes—infrared lamps are widely used for piglet creep heat; effectiveness depends on placement and output control.
