Agricultural - stable application

Heating of stables

In modern farming it is very important that the animals have the most optimal conditions. Piglets must not lose body heat to the surroundings or the floor in order to grow quickly. An optimal solution is to install deviflex™ heating cables in the floor of the stable or farrowing pen to ensure that the animals grow easily and obtain extra heat.

In farrowing pens the piglets must have a temperature of approx. 30°C for the first two days. The temperature must then be reduced gradually to approx. 18°C during the next 4 weeks.

The heat requirement in a stable depends on the floor, the necessary temperature in the stable, the insulation, the air humidity, and the number of animals. The output requirement also depends on the size of the animals. The following output values are recommended:

  • Chickens: 200 W/m²
  • Piglets below 20 kg: 200 W/m²
  • Pigs from 20 to 50 kg: 150 W/m²
  • Pigs above 50 kg: 100 W/m²

Heating of seed beds

Heating the soil facilitates cultivation of plants.
