1 Adapting to Sow Housing Trends/Conversion Erin Ehinger Dykhuis Farms, Inc September 24, 2010
2 As an industry, we can manage sows in pen gestation as successfully as we ve managed sows in the past. with stalls for breeding and farrowing with the right people
3 Outline Overview of Dykhuis Farms Barn Design Weekly Tasks in Pens Animal Husbandry Worker Safety Production Numbers
4 An Overview of Dykhuis Farms
5 About Dykhuis Farms Head quarters in West Michigan All the sow units are in the Holland area Contract finishing in Michigan and Indiana (Part of the Michigan PRRS Eradication Project)
6 About Dykhuis Farms 15,500 sows 5 commercial sow units of 2800 sows each 1 grandparent herd unit with 1900 sows PIC sows
7 History Started in 1978 with all stall gestation (80 sows) Steady growth from 1980 through 2009 In 2009, cut sow herd by 20% Early 2009, 70% of DFI sows spent part of gestation in pens
8 History 2004 Purchased farrow to finish unit and kept finisher pens for sow gestation Changed another finisher/gilt developer into a gestation barn with pens
9 Changes in Europe Group housed sows in Denmark.
10 History 2007 Changed another finisher to pen gestation Built new breeding and farrowing barn attached to old finisher
11 History December 2009/ February 2010 Changed some pens into stalls 2010 Michigan Legislation Early 2020 takes effect Can be in stalls until confirmed pregnant and one week before due to farrow
12 Our People All of the managers in our pen barns worked with stalls before pens Many of our gestation people worked with stalls before pens
13 Barn Design
14 Feeding/Watering
15 30 inches between feed tubes (2 sows per box)
16 30 inches between feed tubes (2 sows per box)
17 Trough for whey and water
18 30 inches between feed tubes (2 sows per box)
19 30 inches between feed tubes (2 sows per box)
20 Sow lick inside the pipe which causes the feed to hang up.
21 27 inches between feed tubes (2 sows per box)
22 4 feet between feed tubes (2 sows per box)

26 Feeding Whey
27 This feeding system is not ideal
28
29 Feed wasted on backs of animals
30 Hanging Waterer
31 Not our farm, but another feeding system
32 18 inches between dividers
33 Other Systems Free Access Stalls Recent research published on amount of time spent in and out of stalls Electric Sow Feeding System
34 Planning a Barn Pens needed: Farrowing Target x Number of weeks in the pens (e.g. 10) Stalls needed: Hospital area Gilts Wean sows Bred sows: Breeding Target x Number of weeks in the stalls (e.g. 6)
35 Breed in stalls
36 Hospital Area
37 Small vs. Large Pens Either can work Needs to fit the system Bigger pens can make planning more difficult If a pen is only partially emptied, can leave unavailable empty spaces.
38 Stocking Density We stock pens at 15 square feet per sow By the end of gestation, goal of 18 square feet per sow Fall out: Opens Aborts Dead sows Thin Lame

68 Weekly Tasks
69 Establishing Pens Sow are in stalls from weaning until 35 days bred or more Confirmed Pregnant
70 Establishing Pens Group pens by Due date/breed date Size/Parity
71 Newly mixed pen
72 Mixed the previous day- gilts
73 Sows get extra feed the first 2-3 days in a pen Helps reduce fighting
74 Heat Checking/Breeding
75 Heat checking for returns in the pen Boar
76 Mark heats and move to stalls
77 Breed in stalls
78 Don t do this!
79 Gilts breeding in pens: not ideal
80 Works best with a lot of people
81 Boars can be aggressive
82 Quality Mating?
83 Vaccinating

91 Animal Husbandry
92 Caring for Individuals Lame sows in pens need immediate attention Sick sows need immediate attention Why did that sow get beat up?
93 Injured Sows
94 Hospital Area
95 Feeding and Body Condition Fed as a group Thin sows Minimize Group together Pull out of pens 35 days gestation in stall gives time to gain body condition
96 Thin Sows
97 Worker Safety
98 Worker Safety Boars can be aggressive during heat checking Moving animals Be aware of surroundings Some things may be safer because there are no stalls to pinch hands and legs
