Nursery Pen with Plastic Slatted Floor

The Nursery Pen with Plastic Slatted Floor is an integrated housing solution for newly weaned piglets in commercial swine production. The system combines modular pen partitions with livestock-grade plastic slats to create a hygienic, practical and easily managed nursery environment.

The slatted flooring allows manure, urine and spilled water to pass through the openings into the manure channel or collection system below. This helps reduce contamination on the animal level and simplifies routine cleaning between production batches.

Plastic flooring is especially suitable for nursery pigs because it can provide a relatively warm, corrosion-resistant and comfortable walking surface while avoiding sharp metallic edges. Appropriate surface texture and slot geometry help provide secure footing for young pigs.

The complete system can be configured with solid or ventilated partitions, feeders, drinking equipment, climate covers, heating areas and environmental-control equipment according to project requirements.

• Plastic slatted flooring designed for piglet nursery and weaner housing applications.
• Open flooring structure allows manure and spilled water to pass to the collection area below.
• Textured walking surface helps provide secure footing for young pigs.
• Rounded, smooth floor surfaces help reduce sharp contact points.
• Corrosion-resistant plastic construction is suitable for humid pig-house environments.
• Lightweight modular slats simplify handling and installation.
• Interlocking floor modules help create a stable continuous flooring surface.
• Floor sections can be removed when access to the manure channel or support structure is required.
• Compatible with solid, ventilated and combination nursery pen partitions.
• Heating plates or protected resting zones can be integrated according to climate requirements.
• Compatible with dry feeders, wet-dry feeders and liquid-feeding systems.
• Suitable for new pig houses and existing nursery-house renovation projects.
• Dimensions and system layout are customizable according to project requirements.

• Nursery Pen Partitions: Plastic panels, compact fiber panels, galvanized steel sections or combined solid/open configurations.
• Plastic Slatted Floor: Modular livestock-grade plastic floor panels with openings designed for manure drainage.
• Floor Support System: GRP, galvanized steel, stainless steel or project-specific support beams installed above the manure channel.
• Support Brackets: Structural components used to position and secure floor beams and slatted modules.
• Gate System: Small access gate or full-width gate according to pig movement and aisle requirements.
• Contact Grid: Galvanized or stainless-steel grid sections can be incorporated between neighboring pens.
• Feeding Equipment: Dry feeder, wet-dry feeder or liquid-feeding trough available according to project requirements.
• Drinking Equipment: Water cups, nipple drinkers or drinking valves connected to the farm water line.
• Climate Cover: Optional cover above the piglets' resting zone to support microclimate management.
• Heating Area: Heating plate or other localized heating solution available when required by the nursery design.

The plastic slatted flooring is installed on structural support beams above a manure pit or collection channel. Piglets remain on the upper walking surface while manure, urine and spilled water pass through the floor openings into the collection system below.

This separation between the animal area and manure-storage area helps maintain cleaner pen surfaces and reduces the amount of manual manure removal required at floor level.

Different floor configurations can be used to create functional areas inside the nursery pen. More open slats can be installed in activity or dunging areas, while floor sections with a lower open percentage or heating plates can be used in protected resting zones according to project requirements.

The modular pen partitions guide pig movement and separate resting, feeding, drinking and dunging areas. Contact grids and water locations can also be positioned to encourage dunging behavior in selected areas of the pen.

When combined with suitable ventilation, heating and climate-cover systems, the pen provides an integrated environment designed for efficient post-weaning piglet management.

Project Planning: The floor layout should be coordinated with pen dimensions, manure-channel width, support-beam spacing, feeding equipment, drinking lines and structural dimensions of the pig house before installation.

Support Installation: Floor support beams and brackets are installed over the manure channel according to the structural layout and selected slat system.

Slat Installation: Plastic floor modules are positioned and connected according to the flooring design. Interlocking sections should be correctly seated to provide a stable and continuous walking surface.

Pen Installation: Partition panels, gates and contact grids are installed above or adjacent to the flooring system using suitable corrosion-resistant anchoring components.

Cleaning: Remove loose organic material and thoroughly wash the slatted flooring, pen partitions, feeders and drinking equipment between production batches.

Inspection: Regularly check slats for cracks, damaged edges or improper seating. Floor supports, brackets and connections should also be inspected periodically.

Replacement: Modular floor sections allow individual damaged slats to be removed and replaced without replacing the complete floor system.

Technical Support: Flooring layouts, pen arrangement drawings and installation guidance are available upon request.

Nursery pens with plastic slatted flooring can be incorporated into complete commercial pig-house projects together with steel structure buildings, manure channels, feeding systems, drinking equipment, climate covers, heating systems and mechanical ventilation.

For new construction and renovation projects, the floor support arrangement, pen layout and equipment interfaces can be developed according to building drawings, production capacity, manure-management method, local climate and customer requirements.

Q: Why are plastic slatted floors commonly used for nursery pigs?
A: Plastic slats provide a corrosion-resistant and relatively warm flooring surface while allowing manure and spilled water to pass below the animal area.

Q: Is the floor fully slatted?
A: Fully slatted, partially slatted and combination layouts are available. The appropriate configuration depends on the pig-house design, climate strategy and manure-management system.

Q: Can different types of plastic slats be used in the same pen?
A: Yes. Different opening ratios or floor sections can be combined to create resting, activity and dunging zones according to project requirements.

Q: Can heating plates be integrated into the floor?
A: Yes. Heating plates or other localized heating solutions can be incorporated into the resting area when required.

Q: What supports the plastic floor?
A: Depending on the project, plastic slats can be supported by GRP, galvanized steel, stainless-steel or other engineered support beams.

Q: Are damaged floor panels replaceable?
A: Yes. Modular floor construction allows individual slat sections to be removed and replaced when necessary.

Q: Can the pen dimensions be customized?
A: Yes. Pen dimensions, group capacity, flooring layout, gates and equipment positions can be customized according to the pig-house project.

Q: Can wet-dry feeders be installed?
A: Yes. The nursery pen can be configured with dry feeders, wet-dry feeders or liquid-feeding troughs according to the farm feeding program.

Q: Is the system suitable for renovation projects?
A: Yes. Modular plastic flooring and penning can be adapted to many existing buildings after the dimensions and structural conditions have been confirmed.

Q: Can SHEWUYOU supply a complete nursery-house solution?
A: Yes. The project scope can include nursery pens, plastic flooring, support beams, feeders, drinking systems, climate covers, heating, ventilation and manure-management equipment according to project requirements.
