First all-steel swine barns to provide improved efficiency, pig health

A new sow complex is now under construction featuring the first prefabricated steel swine barns in the US. Compared to traditional wood structures, the steel buildings are designed to offer a more biosecure, flame-retardant and energy-efficient environment for pigs, while also being more durable and faster to build. Brian Rieck, Global Senior Product Manager – Swine Solutions at AP, joins us with details on a new 12,000-head sow facility scheduled for completion this summer in South Dakota.
