In this article it will be a question of where to contain pigs. We will acquaint our readers with the simple constructions which are not demanding big expenses of materials. Especially it is actual for our southern, steppe regions where there are no forests and it is necessary to manage local mate­rialami, including various brushwood, a cane, straw, clay…

There are descriptions of many designs of simple pigsties. We will tell about the general requirements at the device of rooms for the maintenance of pigs.

Before getting a poroyosenka, it is necessary to prepare a room for its contents. It should be dry, svetyoly and rather spacious, and air in is mute – fresh, umeyorenno damp, with constant temperature out of zavisimos­ti from differences external tem­peratury. Optimum tempe­ratura air for a podsosny sow should make 18-22 °, for pigs-sosunov at the age of 2-7 days-26-28 °; 8-10 days – 22-25 ° and in vozras­te 41-60 days – 20-22 °.

Indoors for pigs there should be dense, not freezing through walls, a warm, not blotting roof, a firm and heat-insulated floor, a good osveyoshcheniye, ventilation, flutes for water and urine running off. To build a pigsty it is possible from a tree, a brick, a stone, sama­na and other available and nedoyorogy materials. It is possible even to bring down walls from two ranks do­sok between which to fill up sawdust or slag. But walls from any materials it is necessary sta­vit on the reliable base, doing a water insulating layer of roofing felt or roofing material. From a brick, a stone or an adobe it is desirable to upholster the Vnutrenyony part of walls from below on 1 m, beginning from a floor, boards. It predotv­rashhaet I spoil and serves horoyoshy heatinsulating the mayoterialy. If a pigsty odyonoskatny, the height of a forward wall has to be not less than 2 m, and back – 1,5 m.

The ceiling should be utepyolenny. It is necessary to do it dvoyyony, using for a teploizoyolyatsionny layer sawdust, slag. Long since in villages a roof for cattle-breeding rooms do of a cane, snopiki which prepare in the summer, after an ottsvetaniye of plants. Coordinate them the lower part up that water of a precipitation leg­ko rolled down from a roof.

Floors do of dense thick boards or cement, on a sand-gravel basis. It is possible to use also xo­rosho the burned red brick, stacking it plash­mya on solution with the subsequent concreting. But in the machine for sows the floor nevertheless should be dimmed boards.

Swill which gathers on a floor, it is necessary to take away. For this purpose in a forward part of a floor do a flute which revet tsemenyoty or boards with a bias to the hole which has been dug out near a poyomeshcheniye. Hole walls too revet and cover with a board. It is desirable to make a trench at the end of a kayonavka and below it to establish a bucket. Collected swill regularly to choose and use for fertilizer of a garden, a kitchen garden or moistening of a kompostny heap.

Very important indoors, especially for a uterus with porosya­tami to arrange good estestyovenny lighting. Big windows, and near a pigsty – at least nebolyyoshy a vygulny court yard should be others slo­vami, in a pigsty. In it is mute usually feed pigs. They get used to stay in a court yard where are emptied and urinate. Gradually privyka­yut to a ktaky mode. Thanks to it in a pigsty it is possible to support purity and a suyokhost.

In a pigsty surely it is necessary to equip the machine. Its size should be for a sow about 5 sq.m, and for young growth on ot­korme – 3-4 sq.m. Walls luch­she to do from boards in height of 0,9-1 m. In back or lateral sten­ke the machine arrange a den – the vacation spot, the size koyotory should correspond to the size of an animal. The den should be separated from other part of the machine a partition from wooden whetstone, pribito­go kpolu. In machines of podsosny sows it is necessary pre­dusmatrivat office for top dressing of pigs-sosunov, and also berlozhka for their soyoderzhaniye at low tempe­rature.
