About piglet heat mats & lamps
Local heat warms piglets without overheating the sow or the room. Electric mats and hot-water plates heat from below; lamps heat from above. Each needs safe power or water connections, protection from chewing and washing, and a way to adjust temperature as piglets grow.
Common configurations
Electric heat mats
Heated plates in the creep area.
Hot-water plates
Connected to a heating circuit.
Heat lamps
Infrared or other lamps above the piglets.
