Slatted Floors
Waterdrop (LWS) Plastic Slat
Waterdrop-pattern LWS slat with rounded holes for fast drainage and quick washdown in farrowing and nursery rooms.

Farrowing Rooms
The room where the margin is made or lost. Equipment for farrowing crates, creep areas and the sow's own comfort.
Pain points
What Goes Wrong In This Room
Piglets chilled on the wrong surface
The sow needs a cool floor and the litter needs a warm one, in the same crate, a metre apart.
Feet damaged in the first days
A floor gap sized for a finishing pig is the wrong gap for a newborn.
Creep areas soaked by oversized drinkers
Full-flow drinkers wet the nest and push piglets off it.
Temperature uneven along the room
The crate at the far end runs colder than the one by the sensor.
How JGM Equips It
A farrowing room is a set of local climates, not one room. JGM equips it accordingly: a waterdrop or fine-gap plastic slat across the piglet area, a cast-iron insert under the sow where weight and heat transfer matter, and penning set out on the same grid so nothing lands across a slat joint.
Water is regulated per line, with a low-flow transparent piglet cup in the creep and a cast float bowl for the sow. Rations are set with 6 L or 8 L volumetric dosing cups rather than scooped. A recirculation fan evens out the room so the controller's reading applies at both ends.
Specification Checklist
- Fine-gap or waterdrop slats across the piglet area
- Cast-iron insert under the sow position
- Crate penning set out on the beam and slat grid
- Separately regulated piglet water line
- Transparent low-flow cup in each creep
- 6 L or 8 L dosing cup per sow place
- Recirculation fan sized to the room length

Answers
Farrowing Rooms FAQs
Which slat should go under a farrowing crate?
A waterdrop (LWS) or fine-gap (LWD) plastic slat across the piglet area, usually with a cast-iron insert under the sow where weight and heat transfer are highest.
Why a transparent piglet drinker?
So the stockperson can see from the alley whether the cup is holding water and whether the litter has found it, in the days when that matters most.
Can you design the whole room?
Yes. Send room dimensions, the number of farrowing places and any building constraints, and our engineers return a layout, an equipment list and a quotation.
How is the equipment shipped?
Flat-packed and crated for full-container export, crated by room, with assembly drawings and a packing list.

Equip your farrowing rooms from one factory
Slats, beams, penning, feeders, drinkers and fans are made on the same site and crated by room, so the build order is the unload order.
