Piggery Design Plan

Description

An experienced commercial pig farmer developed this piggery design plan in the field — not a generic architectural template. It includes everything you need to build correctly the first time: the correct number of pens and space allocation for every production stage, innovative specialist pen layouts, a full 3D design and floor plan, a weekly work routine, a movement plan, and a bill of quantities for accurate budgeting before you build.

Getting your piggery design plan right from the start matters more than most new farmers realise. A poorly laid-out piggery costs you in labour, water, and cleaning time for as long as you use it — mistakes baked into concrete and fencing are expensive to undo. This plan is built to avoid exactly that, based on decades of hands-on commercial experience rather than theory.

Space allocation follows established best practice for pig housing at each stage of production — from farrowing through to finishing — so pigs have room to grow without wasting floor space you don’t need. FAO’s guidance on small-scale pig unit housing covers the same underlying principles this piggery design plan applies in practice.

Whether you’re planning a small 5-sow backyard operation or a 25-sow or a 100-sow commercial unit, this piggery design plan scales to fit your numbers, so you’re not paying for space — or building — you don’t actually need.
