A. Determine the important factors
to consider in building pig houses.
B. Decides the prefered best house
for swines and piglets.

• Pig houses must be designed and constructed properly for good
health and well-being of the pigs to obtain maximum performance
and savings in labor costs.
• Let's bear in mind that pig's are living creatures, they will easily get
sick, and stressed when their shelter and environment are in poor
state.

• Site Location
• Accessibility
• Distance from other farms
• Zoning and Permits

• Site Location
• Is it available for essential services?
• Is it suitable for construction of drainage and manure?
• Is it possible to expand?
• Accessibility
• The availability of feeds, water and electricity?

3. Distance from other farms
a. Is it 1km away from your other farms and neighbors?
4. Zoning and Permits
a. Is the proposed location approved by the local zoning
laws and regulations?

• Environmental Control
• Proper Ventilation
• Minimum labor requirement
• Durability of building materials
• Dryness
• Sanitation
• Rodent and Bird Control
• Safety

When you hear the word ventilation,
What comes in to your mind?

In pig houses, the front side should be
facing EAST and rear side should be
facing west

• Replacement of foul air with fresh
air or removal of odors.
• Removal of moisture
• Removal of excess heat

1. Inlets to serve as passageway of fresh air into the pig
house.
2. Insulation should be available to keep house warm when
necessary.
3. Supplemental heat during cold weather.
4. Presence of vapor barriers.
5. Removal of moist air through the outlets

a. Natural Ventilation
> This type of ventilation
combines both air flows and
wind speed.

b. Fan ventilation System
> uses a fan to maintain the
normal temperature inside the
pen.

Two Floor Constructions:
A. Ground Pen
a. the flooring should be set firmly on the earth free from organic
matters or on well tramped gravel or crush rock fills.
B. Slatted Flooring
a. Slatted floors allow the pig manure to drop or to be forced through
the slats.

A. Adapt the rules needed in
constructing building and non-
building structures.

• BUILDING CODES ARE A SET OF RULES THAT MUST BE
FOLLOWED TO SATISFY THE MINIMUM ACCEPTABLE LEVELS
OF SAFETY FOR BUILDINGS AND NON-BUILDING STRUCTURES.
• THE OBJECTIVE OF BUILDING CODES IS TO ENSURE THE
HEALTH, SAFETY AND PROTECTION OF THE PUBLIC WHEN IT
COMES TO THE CONSTRUCTION AND OCCUPANCY OF
BUILDINGS.
• BUILDING CODES ARE DETERMINED BY APPROPRIATE
AUTHORITIES IN DIFFERENT AREAS AND MAY VARY WIDELY
FROM COUNTRY TO COUNTRY.
• PRESIDENTIAL DECREE NO. 1096 (NATIONAL BUILDING CODE
OF THE PHILIPPINES)

• BUILDING CODES STIPULATE DETAILS OF THE
CONSTRUCTION AND MAINTENANCE OF A BUILDING OR
CONSTRUCTION. THESE INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING.
A. FIRE SAFETY RULES, SAFETY EXITS IN BUILDINGS,
B. STRUCTURAL RULES. BUILDINGS NEED TO BE STRONG
ENOUGH TO RESIST INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL FORCES
WITHOUT COLLAPSING.
C. HEALTH STIPULATIONS. BUILDINGS SHOULD HAVE
HEALTH STIPULATIONS SUCH AS ADEQUATE AIR
CIRCULATION, WASHROOMS AND PLUMBING FACILITIES.
D. OTHER BUILDING CODES

A. Consider signs, signals and
barricades as part of daily safety
precautions.

• The primary importance of displaying
Safety Signs is to prevent injury and
ensure staff and visitors are well
aware of the possible dangers and
hazards ahead in certain situations
and/or environments.
• Without signs, many employees
would lack the necessary direction in
times of crisis, and employers might
find themselves in significant legal
difficulties if any accidents were to
arise as a result.
