At ADA Enterprises, we believe that the right flooring is the backbone of a successful swine operation. High-quality farrowing crate flooring plays a critical role in ensuring the health, comfort, and productivity of both sows and piglets. That’s why we use only the best materials — our flooring is crafted from first-rate steel and fully coated with plastisol (polyvinyl, plastic). Unlike competitors, we never use any other coating materials, guaranteeing superior performance and durability.
Why Farrowing Crate Flooring Matters
Farrowing crate flooring isn’t just a surface for animals; it’s a vital component that influences their health and well-being. The right flooring helps maintain a warm, dry environment, reducing stress on both sows and piglets. Traditional flooring options, like bare metal or rubber mats, can contribute to injuries, drafts, and even discomfort, which negatively impacts farrowing outcomes.
Our farrowing floors are designed to solve these common issues, offering unmatched comfort, strength, and hygiene. By choosing ADA Enterprises, you’re investing in the longevity and success of your operation.
Key Features of ADA’s Farrowing Crate Flooring
Our farrowing crate flooring stands out for its innovative design and quality construction. Here’s what sets us apart:
- Durable Plastisol Coating
- We use only plastisol coating on our steel floors. This material provides exceptional protection against rust, ensuring the flooring stays in top condition even in wet environments. The smooth, non-porous surface also makes it easier to keep the area dry and clean, reducing bacteria buildup.
- Cast Iron Center Section for Enhanced Strength
- The cast iron center offers superior weight-bearing capacity, ideal for heavy sows. The cast iron will keep the sow cool and comfortable and deliver unmatched durability.
- Superior Traction for Safety
- Slips and falls can be disastrous in a farrowing crate. That’s why we’ve designed our flooring with a focus on superior traction. This feature helps keep both sows and piglets safe, reducing the risk of injuries and creating a more comfortable environment for the animals.
Customizable Flooring Options for Every Need
We understand that every swine operation is different, which is why we offer customizable solutions to meet your specific requirements:
- Wide range of sizes: Our farrowing crate flooring is available in various sizes to fit your unique setup, ensuring an ideal fit.
- Flooring Materials: While cast-iron offers strength and cool comfort for sows, small piglets benefit from the comfort and warmth provided by the plastisol-coated steel.
- Customizable Adjustable creep areas: Hot water heat plates, solid plates, and recessed flooring to accommodate electric heat mats are some of the options we have available to modify your creep side floors.
The Benefits of ADA’s Plastisol-Coated Flooring
Unlike other materials, plastisol offers several advantages that make it the ideal choice for farrowing crate flooring:
- Rust Resistance: Plastisol coating completely envelopes the steel to prevent corrosion, extending the life of your flooring and maintaining its strength over time.
- Enhanced Comfort: The smooth coating reduces abrasions, providing a safer, more comfortable area for sows and piglets. The appropriately sized mesh openings allow waste to fall through to the surface below keeping animals clean, dry, and comfortable.
- Easy Maintenance: The non-porous nature of plastisol and the mesh design of the steel helps keep the surface dry, minimizing bacteria growth and making it easier to clean.
Improving Piglet Health and Reducing Stress
The design of our farrowing floors isn’t just about durability; it’s about promoting better animal welfare. Proper traction and comfortable surfaces help:
- Reduce stress for sows, leading to improved farrowing outcomes.
- Protect piglets from slips, drafts, and abrasions, which are common issues with inferior flooring options.
- Enhance overall health, resulting in higher survival rates and better weight gain.
By investing in ADA’s flooring solutions, you’re prioritizing the health and well-being of your animals, which translates to better productivity and profitability.
Installation and Maintenance Tips
To get the most out of your farrowing crate flooring, proper installation and maintenance are crucial. Here are some tips from our experts:
- Regular inspection: Check the cast iron center and plastisol coating periodically for signs of wear and tear, addressing any issues promptly to maintain optimal performance.
- Keep it clean and dry: The floors stay clean and dry by the design of appropriately sized openings.
