The future-oriented straw bedding concept for animal-friendly and environmentally sound piglet rearing and finishing

No slurry, no manure runoff, low emissions and truly animal-friendly Pig production on straw that meets the animals’ needs and is still profitable – is that possible? Yes! With the sustainable and animal-friendly Xaletto® straw bedding concept, both piglet rearing and pig finishing are profitable, either in closed houses or in ventilated barns with open-air run. Xaletto® is the result of a collaboration between Big Dutchman, the feed producer Bröring and an experienced farmer. Prerequisites for the success of the Xaletto®concept include: well-adjusted ventilation concept a n ideal feeding...

Ventilation concept: computer-controlled ventilating and heating The ventilation concept is similar to that of broiler houses. The high-performance wall or ceiling inlets of our CL series are ideal for creating stable high-velocity ventilation. They provide stable air circulation and supply sufficient fresh air. The exhaust air can be extracted either individually through exhaust air chimneys on the roof or centrally at the gable. Depending on the relevant regulations, an air scrubber may be necessary. The fin heater is the ideal heating system. Its ribbed tubes are installed below the wall...

Water management: special, sensor-controlled drinkers Specifically for the Xaletto® system, we have developed a drinker that is designed as a trough, similar to liquid feeding systems. Our reasoning: pigs prefer to ingest feed, as well as their drinking water, from troughs. A fill level sensor ensures that there is always enough water in the trough, but never too much. This reduces water losses to a minimum. The drinker system is controlled by our BD 103 controller. With this controller, you can continuously monitor your pigs’ water intake. Finishing house: use of a trough drinker with fill...

After the animals have been moved out, the bedding is removed from the barn. A telescopic handler is the ideal tool for this task. The decomposing material, which largely consists of straw and manure, has a dry matter content of 40 to 50 percent. This valuable organic fertiliser is perfectly suited for improving poorly-structured soils with low humus levels. In addition, transport costs are significantly lower compared to slurry. For piglets, approx. 150 kg of manure can be expected per place and year, and around 500 kg for finishing pigs. The longer the pigs lie on the straw bedding, the...

Acid storage and acid dosing Pressure corridor with upstream StuffNix dust filter An important advantage of PURO-X’s modular design is the technical room with optimal dimensions. This room is pre-installed by the manufacturer. All necessary components, such as the pH value sensor, the conductivity sensor, the meters for measuring fresh water and desludge water, pumps, piping and the control box are cleverly installed for a good overview. Maintenance is thus made very easy. The compact technical room is leakproof and resistant to acids and alkalis. To store the sulfuric acid, we recommend...
