Strong signs are emerging that pig farmers are investing to ‘future-proof’ their units. “After long periods of losses, when many have left the industry, we are receiving an upsurge in serious enquiries for both new and refurbishment projects,” said Paul Marland, sales director.
Pig farmers are being reminded to check carefully the set ventilation rates of pens during cold weather following routine inter-batch pressure-washing and disinfection.
farmers should also check that their alarm systems are working properly. #pigfarming

Hi-tech beats lockdown in a piggery
Remote monitoring of piggeries has proved to be a big advantage in these days of lockdown and social distancing. It enabled a ventilation problem on a Midlands finishing unit to be solved without a visit.
Christmas 2019 saw the retirement of Roger Smith, ARM Buildings’ sales and contracts director. Well known in the industry for his no-nonsense, open and honest approach, his retirement will leave a huge gap.🐷🤝
The 2019 Nick Bird Award has been presented at Harper Adams University, to Olivia Hartshorn, from Staffordshire, for her dissertation on ventilation design in pig finisher houses and its impact on animal performance.
