ineered' a third swine set-up
that is now owned by his
daughter and son-in-law. Bill
was back: to the recent Swine
Symposium to talk about the
present swine unit.
He planned the unit by
laying down some goals:
($300,000 per year gross
income
03,000 hogs to market at
S100 each
.20 pigs per sow per year
0150 working sows plus 12
to 15 gilts
*97% conception on first
service
.28 day weaning
2.3 turns per sow per year
•8.7 pigs .per. litter y'
•158 day turn around
Two years later, •Bill has,
achieved these :goals: Con-
ception rate on first service
was 95.5°1e in 1978 and arose
to 97% in 1979. Pigs per sow
per year was 19.95 in 1978
r.
and 20.3 for 1979. It takes
155 days for a pig ,to pass
through his barns, •
How does Bill achieve the
97°10 conception rate? He'
cites several reasons. He
practices hand breeding be-
muse he reasons that a boar
can wear himself out without
success if he isn't guided itt
his entry. An ordinary light-
ing system over the sows
provides 16 'hours of .light:
daily, An evaporative cooling
unit keeps the temperature
front :going above 85°F: This
unit eliminates breeding'
problems in hot weather.
Once sows, are weaned, they'
are placed adjacent.' to the
boars, in • pens . of three..
Twelve sows • is an ideal.

after it is definite that they
are pregnant. Bill feels that
this type of housing; contri-
butes to his success because
the animal can't fight with
pen mates," In addition, he
can feed each animal accord-
ing to its condition by using a

feeder. These feeders are
filled 12 hours . before the
feeding and ,several • sows are
fed at the same time with a

ing pipe. RY A LITTLE

PIG SOCIAL STRUCTURE
His feeder barn housesl5
pigs in 6' x 20' pens. He
doesn't overcrowd because
the resulting .:stress would •
slowhis days to market. He
believes thatfifteen pigs is a
maximum number per pen
after a study of the pig's
social order.. Apparently, in:
large groups of pigs,, there
are three 'different orders
and the low ranking pigs take
a beating, With 15 there is
only one order and hence less.
stress on all the pigs:
According to• Rill, a swine_
budding should be accessible
visible; workable, durable,
predictable and energy effic-
lent., The system must be
flexible. Always provide
extra space so that there's a
reserve if breeding schedules
are delayed.
Bill's breeding and gest-
ation building is 40' x 140.'.
The 75' x 110'' farrowing unit
has 4 separate units, each
housing 14 sows. If he were
doingit again. he'd have 5
moms holding 12 sows,•In his
opinion, it's much easier to •
work with the latter number.
His feeder barn. 'is 300'`
long x 244' wide. .'ehe pens are
20.' It's divided into two
sections; The starting section
-takes pigs up to 150 lbs.:,
Drugs can be ,given in this

section, which is meant for
pigs nearing market weight.
Summer cooling is
achieved by a sprinkler sys-
tem. A timer and thermostat
are linked together. The
sprinkler works for one min-
ute out of every ten when the
thermostat dictates the need..
Bill believes is eliminating

moving parts' as 'much as
possible His' liquid manu1;e
system unloads by gravity'
into a home=made applicator.
The operation is based: on
purchased feed. There is a
land base of over 200 acres
