Solar Heated Piglet Water Bed

Ideal for using creep areas.

Conditions in a piglets nest are critical, and the first three days of life are particularly relevant to the percentage of piglet deaths. Straw or woodshavings in the creep area can harbour infection, the water bed replaces the need for these. The use of warm water beds positively influences the growth of piglets and reduces the number of injuries and possibility of infection Unlike other heat mats, the water bed gives a natural laying position, in a hollow. This calms the piglets in the nest, which in turn gives better growth. It is ideal for buildings without heating. The warm water bed is made of scratch resistant, easy to clean nylon material with extra reinforced edges as protection against biting by the piglets. The water bed can be easily filled through an opening at the bottom. The “Solar” water bed which is heated by a heat lamp.
