Testimonial Mr. Berger from Switzerland: no smell of pigs in the DACS house

Urs Berger is the second generation on his 250 acres farm in the village Oberbottigen in Switzerland. In 2013 he installed a DACS ventilation system in a new 1000 finisher unit. The pigs have access to an outdoor area. Nevertheless, they often choose to stay indoor - thanks to the very constant movement of preheated air in the house.
Ventilation without draught
With the DACS ventilation system I have a system that keeps a good climate year round in the house. I have openings in the pens to the outside pens so my focus was to find a system that eliminated issues with draft through these openings. The DACS system solved. The ventilation system aerates the pigs’ resting area with temperate, dry air and at a relatively high air speed. This keeps the resting area dry and removes pollutants such as CO2 Urs points out.
Clean, calm pigs
Pigs are sensitive animals and it is very easy to see if anything in their environment is out of balance. They get nervous and often start to soil where they normally do not. Thus, the pigs’ behavior is a good guideline of the conditions in the pig house. The pigs in my DACS house are clean and calm, the floors are dry and daily gain is absolutely acceptable.
I am satisfied
To me the fact that the animals choose to stay indoor even in good weather is a proof that the ventilation system creates a really good climate in my pig house. As a matter in fact the air in the pig house is so good that I do not smell of pig after my daily work in the house. This is another good evidence of the system’s ability to ventilate the house Urs notes.
