Farrowing Heat Pad - 2' x 3'

Stanfield Farrowing Heat Pad

The Stanfield Farrowing Heat Pad is a reliable and efficient solution designed to provide safe, consistent warmth for newborn piglets. These heat pads offer an optimal resting temperature of approximately 30-35°F (16-20°C) above the barn's air temperature, ensuring a comfortable and uniform heating area that promotes piglet health and reduces chilling. Constructed from durable, flame-resistant, and water-resistant fiberglass-reinforced composite material, these pads are engineered to endure rigorous farm conditions. Their treaded surface provides secure footing, while the sealed, double-insulated heating element guarantees longevity and safety.

This durable, water-tight farrowing heating pad measures 3 ft x 2 ft and supports up to eight pigs per side. Built with raised treads for traction, it features a sturdy fiberglass design, a 10-ft power cord, and operates efficiently using just 1.92 kWh per day.

It also serves as a barrier against chilling drafts, making it an excellent choice for barns with slotted floors or exposed areas. The pad's design encourages piglets to rest away from the sow, reducing the risk of crush losses, and simplifies maintenance with a water-tight, easy-to-clean surface that withstands regular use. Additionally, with a 2 x 3 ft (0.61 x 0.91 m) size and energy-efficient power consumption of only 3.84 kWh/day, these heat pads provide cost-effective warmth, saving on energy expenses compared to traditional heat lamps.

Benefits of Using the Stanfield Farrowing Heat Pad

• Health Benefits: Consistent warmth from the pad aids in piglet growth and development by reducing stress from temperature fluctuations. The warmth also supports increased weaning weights and overall health in early life stages.
