Lighting for Farrowing Shed - Case Study

Each pig production phase has different demands that require different lamps in different lighting intensities. The light should suit the phase in pig production and the type of pig house.

Take the farrowing house as an example, offering optimal 200-300lx light intensity on the ground and 8-16 light hours can promote piglets and sow lactation, resulting in higher weaning weights.

Also an illuminance 200lux at least is easy for people to do work and daily checking.

Tips: Install a Timer Switch for energy-saving and easy management. if not, workers would have to turn the lights on/off every day.
