In Tylstrup in Vendsyssel, Henrik and Michael Basso have achieved a savings of 18,000 DKK per year in one stable with an investment of 21,500 DKK.

Unpacking and mounting the lighting in the stable took a total of 2.5 hours.

PIG HOUSE

Better animal welfare and increased productivity with the right lighting

Achieve better welfare for animals and humans with LED stable lighting from RN Solutions. The lighting meets the recommendations of veterinarians and leading international consultants.

With the correct lighting in the pigsty, the sows will act as if it were spring all year round, and in this way, the seasonal fluctuations can be reduced.

WITH RN SOLUTIONS' SPECIALLY DEVELOPED LIGHTING CONCEPTS FOR PIGSTIES, YOU GET:

  • Optimal lighting (200-400 lux) through stable fixtures mounted directly above the sows' heads
  • Easy installation - either with RN Solutions' cost-effective RNS Plug 'N Play™ solution with easy and quick mounting, or with RN Solutions' fixtures for permanent installation with PUSH-IN clamps
  • Significant savings on the electricity bill - typically 50-80% per year depending on the current lighting
  • Long-lasting and robust solution

CAN WE OPTIMIZE THE SOWS' PRODUCTIVITY WITH CHANGED LIGHT INFLUENCE:

Darkness increases melatonin production in the brain, and light inhibits it. Therefore, both light and darkness are important for maintaining a regular circadian rhythm. The hormone melatonin is called the "darkness hormone" because it is produced when it is dark, such as at night, and to a greater extent in the winter than in the summer, if not supplemented with daylight.

A disrupted circadian rhythm occurs when there is too little light during the day and/or if it is light at night. - Thus, the boundaries between day and night are blurred, and this negatively affects fertility, lifespan, and overall health. Light increases prolactin secretion, which in turn increases the growth hormone IGF-1, and in the udder, it helps to reduce cell death and stimulates cell growth and milk synthesis.

Lux Recommendations

Our lux recommendations are based on more than 10 years of experience with lighting for cattle.

 

We have gathered extensive knowledge from various institutions such as Seges, DTU, various consultants and international universities, veterinarians, and other lighting companies, but not least practical concrete experiences from several thousand pig producers.

With the right lighting level, we can:

  • Improve reproduction
  • Increase the sows' productivity as well as increase growth in young animals
  • Other side effects - health and better observation conditions
  • Better working environment

This often requires:

  • Greater amount of light and thus more light sources
Erik Pedersen, Denmark
At Allindemaglegården in Zealand, Kim Kjær Knudsen has achieved a savings of 25,000 DKK per year when he built a new energy-efficient stable.

The additional cost for LED lighting was minimal, in part due to the quick installation of the RNS Plug 'N Play™ system fixtures.
