Farrowing Area
Farrowing Area
With farrowing crate, plastic flooring, piglet nest and heated resting area. Farrowing pens have to provide ideal conditions both for the sow and for the piglets during their first weeks of life. For this purpose, Big Dutchman has a wide range of products available. The penning system is very flexible and since it does not depend on length measures, it is possible to create any desired pen shape. The partition of the pen can have a height of 500 or 600 mm.
Free-Movement Farrowing Pen
To fulfil special requirements regarding animal welfare, the farrowing pen is also available as free-movement pen. It includes a maternity bed for the sow, a piglet nest/heated resting area, flooring and the pen partition. The maternity bed can be closed shortly before the expected farrowing date and during farrowing, which lowers the risk of piglets being crushed. This allows the farm staff to remain up-to-date with the farrowing and ensure the piglets‘ protection. The maternity bed is opened after farrowing to provide ample room of movement for the sow.
