Swine Minimum Space Requirement Calculator
Calculation Formulas
The formulas to calculate space requirement for swine are:
1. For Gilts up to mating:
\[ SR = 1.00 \cdot Na \]
2. For Adult pigs in group:
\[ SR = 2.50 \cdot Na \]
3. For Gestating sows:
\[ SR = 1.20 \cdot Na \]
4. For Boar in pens:
\[ SR = 7.50 \cdot Na \]
5. For Lactating sows and liters – individual pen:
\[ SR = 7.40 \cdot Na \]
6. For Lactating sows and liters - multi-suckling groups:
\[ SR = 5.60 \cdot Na \]
7. For Dry sows:
\[ SR = 1.80 \cdot Na \]
Where:
- \(SR\) is the space requirement in square meters.
- \(Na\) is the number of animals.
