Slatted Floors
LWD Fine-Gap Plastic Slat
LWD-series slat with a finer drainage gap and a denser rib pattern that protects piglet feet while keeping the pen dry.

By animal stage
Nursery and Weaner Rooms
The stage where a pig either keeps growing or stalls. Flooring, penning, feed and water sized for the animal it is now, not the one it will be.
Pain points
What Goes Wrong In This Room
Intake stalls after weaning
Feed and water that a piglet cannot easily use costs days of growth it never recovers.
Wide-gap floors damage small feet
A floor designed for finishers traps the claw of a weaned pig.
Pens go wet at the drinker end
Unregulated pressure puts more water on the slat than in the animal.
Airflow blocked between pens
Solid dividers create dead pockets in a room that was ventilated as one space.
How JGM Equips It
Nursery equipment is a matter of scale. The LWD fine-gap slat supports a small foot while still draining; 850 and 900 mm PP panels contain the group without boxing the stockperson out of it; a round pan feeder gives every pig in a freshly sorted group the same access to feed.
Water runs off a regulated line into bite-action cups mounted at the smallest animal's shoulder height. Vented partitions keep air moving between pens in the same air space, and closed panels mark the boundary where a batch ends.
Specification Checklist
- LWD fine-gap slats at the right span for the pen width
- 850–900 mm PP pen panels, vented between pens
- Round pan feeder per group, set at shoulder height
- Regulated water line and bite cups at the correct height
- Closed panels at the room boundary for all-in/all-out
- Spot fan on any known dead corner

Answers
Nursery and Weaner Rooms FAQs
Which floor for a nursery room?
The LWD fine-gap series — the narrower gap and denser rib pattern support a weaned piglet's foot while keeping the pen dry.
What pen height do weaner rooms use?
850 or 900 mm, which contains the group while letting the stockperson see into the pen from the alley.
Why use vented partitions?
Because the room was ventilated as one air space. Vented panels let that air pattern work while keeping groups apart.
How do I stop the pens going wet?
Regulate the water line with a diaphragm valve and set the drinkers at the smallest animal's shoulder height.

Equip your nursery / weaner 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.
