Performance
Fully slatted fan ventilated finishing house
Finishers 35—105 kg growing at 950—1030 g/day
A new building results in better performance which results in a quicker payback.
New finishing house £200/pig place 500 pigs/batch
Cost savings:
- Better performance FCR –0.5 (£10) and B&B (£8) = £18/pig
- Throughput 4.2 batches/year = £76/pig place/year
- 2.6 year payback excluding any interest payments

YEARLY PERFORMANCE CHECK
We at ARM Buildings offer a ‘MOT’ service for buildings to help pig farmers run their controlled-environment houses more efficiently. An annual routine check will let farmers know that their piggeries—particularly finishing houses– are performing to optimum levels.
This service will include: Calibration settings for fans and inlets, building performance, Dicam training, building settings and pressure test and air speed measurement.
Inlet calibration can be undertaken along with checking of Dicam drivers; if electrical work or fan replacement is required then advice can be given.
A fee of £300 will cover the visit and advice. If you would like to be included in this planned annual performance calibration please contact Tim Miller on 07 976 701 144
