Product Overview
Steel-structure livestock facilities are prefabricated buildings that utilize a load-bearing framework of hot-dip galvanized H-beams, C/Z-sections, and cold-formed light-gauge steel, combined with insulated color-steel sandwich panels and ventilation enclosure systems. Suitable for raising pigs, poultry, cattle, sheep, and specialty livestock—as well as for auxiliary facilities—these structures are categorized into four main types: steel-structure poultry houses, steel-structure livestock barns, steel-structure facilities for specialty breeding, and steel-structure auxiliary buildings.
I. Steel-Structure Poultry Houses (Chickens, Ducks, Geese, Meat Pigeons)
1. Steel-Structure Broiler House (Standardized Enclosed House)
Structural Type: Light-gauge steel portal rigid frame; single-span width of 12–27m (clear span without intermediate columns) and length of 80–300m; main steel structure made of Q355B steel with hot-dip galvanized anti-corrosion coating; C-section steel purlins; roof and walls clad in 50–100mm polyurethane (PU) insulated sandwich panels.
Core Configuration: Tunnel-style negative-pressure ventilation, evaporative cooling pads, fully automated feed and water lines, longitudinal exhaust fans, intelligent environmental monitoring, and manure conveyor belts; flooring features concrete slatted panels or fermentation bedding zones.
Applicable Models: Large-scale, enclosed farming operations for white-feathered or yellow-feathered broilers; capacity of 30,000 to 200,000 birds per house.
Key Features: Fully enclosed temperature control; thorough disinfection with no blind spots; rapid construction (10–45 days); ammonia corrosion resistance; supports double-layer cage layouts.
2. Steel-structure layer hen house (multi-tier A-frame / vertical stacked cages)
Structural Design: Long-span steel truss structure with a ceiling height of 4–6 meters, compatible with 4–8 tier automated laying hen cage systems; includes embedded steel components for egg collection and manure removal rail systems.
Equipment & Systems: Automated egg collection machines, transverse manure removal belts, evaporative cooling (wet curtain) ventilation, and a sealed light-control system (to regulate lighting for egg production).
Advantages: 40% increase in land utilization efficiency; capacity of 100,000 to 500,000 birds per house; components are fully prefabricated in the factory, allowing for disassembly and reuse.
3. Steel-Structure Insulated Brooding House
A light-steel shed with a narrow span (8–12 m), featuring 100mm-thick insulation panels, a hydronic or hot-air heating system, and independent small ventilation units; designed specifically for the temperature-controlled rearing of young chicks and ducklings.
4. Steel-structure waterfowl (duck and goose) housing
A steel-structured facility combining semi-open and enclosed sections; features a waterproof, insulated wall on one side and roll-up ventilation curtains on the other; includes an outdoor movable steel-structured canopy over the water area; the floor is designed with an impermeable drainage slope and is resistant to corrosion from high-moisture manure.
5. Steel-Structure Light-Gauge Steel Shed for Meat Pigeons
An arched shed constructed from cold-formed, thin-walled light-gauge steel, featuring a narrow span of 8–10 meters, a steel framework for suspending multi-tiered pigeon cages, and simple natural ventilation; designed specifically for small-to-medium-scale free-range or household-based commercial pigeon farms.
II. Steel-Structure Livestock Housing (Pigs, Cattle, Sheep)
1. Large-scale Steel-Structure Pig Houses (Finishing, Gestation, Farrowing, Nursery)
(1) Single-story Standardized Steel-Structure Finishing Pig House
Portal rigid frame design; span of 16–24m, length of 100–250m; hot-dip galvanized steel structure resistant to corrosion from high concentrations of ammonia and moisture; wall insulation via sandwich panels + PVC-framed ventilation windows or insulated roll-up curtains.
Internal equipment: Fully slatted reinforced concrete flooring, automated dry/wet feeders, under-floor manure scrapers, and longitudinal ventilation with evaporative cooling pads.
(2) Multi-story Steel-Structure Pig Farm (High-rise Intensive Pig Farm)
Multi-story steel frame structure (2–6 levels) with H-beam load-bearing framework; independent ventilation and waste disposal systems for each level; saves over 50% of land area; a mainstream solution for large-scale corporate pig farms (10,000+ head capacity).
3) Steel-Structure Farrowing and Nursery Houses
Features include thickened, insulated building envelopes and independent, constant-temperature ventilation systems. Steel-structure bases for restraining crates are embedded in the flooring, and steel-frame supports for underfloor heating are installed in cold regions to strictly prevent cold stress in piglets.
Structural Features
Steel structure breeding houses use high-strength Q355B low-alloy steel as the core material, combined with precise structural mechanics design. This provides excellent wind resistance, earthquake resistance, anti-shaking capabilities, and strong bearing capacity.
Advanced anti-corrosion processes including hot-dip galvanizing and fluorocarbon spraying create extremely strong steel coatings that adapt to complex breeding environments such as high salinity fog in coastal areas, humid and hot inland areas, and severe cold in the north. The structures effectively resist ammonia, fecal corrosion, and long-term environmental erosion, with a service life exceeding 50 years.
