Nursery Heat Pad - 3' x 3'

Stanfield Nursery Heat Pad

The Stanfield Nursery Heat Pad offers a safe, efficient, and economical solution for providing warmth to piglets and other juvenile livestock. Unlike traditional overhead bulbs that waste energy heating the air before reaching the animals, these heat pads deliver direct, consistent warmth where it’s needed most—on the animal's resting surface. Designed with durability and safety in mind, the heat pads feature a waterproof, flame-resistant, fiberglass-reinforced composite construction that stands up to the rigors of active nursery environments. They’re easy to clean, water-tight, and built to endure abuse from piglets while ensuring energy savings.

Each pad provides uniform heating across its surface, maintaining temperatures 20-25°F (11-14°C) above the surrounding air temperature at full power. This direct warmth promotes healthy growth and reduces the need to maintain higher barn temperatures, leading to significant energy savings. With a 10-foot power cord, the 200-watt heat pad can comfortably accommodate up to 15 piglets at a time, making it a practical addition to any nursery setting.

Features & Benefits

• Efficient Heating: Distributes heat evenly to keep piglets warm without raising barn temperatures, saving on energy costs.

Discussion on Common Questions

The Stanfield Nursery Heat Pad operates efficiently by self-regulating its surface temperature based on the ambient air temperature, providing a consistent heat rise of 20-25°F (11-14°C) above the surrounding air. In a barn kept between 70-75°F (22-24°C), the pad's surface temperature reaches a comfortable 90-95°F (32-35°C) without requiring an internal thermostat. This steady performance ensures piglets are drawn to the warmth without risking overheating. If piglets appear to avoid the pad or cluster at its edges, simple adjustments to barn temperature or heat pad settings can correct the issue.

Unlike traditional bedding, these heat pads require no coverings, which could hinder their efficiency or cause improper operation. Their durable construction is designed for direct animal contact, eliminating the need for bedding materials. For reliable and economical temperature control, consider pairing the pad with Osborne Heat Pad Controls.

While the heat pad provides a warm and draft-free sleeping area, it isn’t intended to heat an entire barn. Maintaining proper ambient air temperatures above 60°F (15°C) is crucial, particularly in draft-prone environments. For optimal safety and longevity, anchoring the heat pad securely using predrilled holes and sealing its edges with caulking prevents moisture or residue buildup underneath.

Investing in a Stanfield Nursery Heat Pad is a practical and energy-efficient way to keep your piglets comfortable, healthy, and growing strong.
