Group Housing with Free-Access Stalls BD and Easy Lock

The sows can move freely in their group in both systems, but receive their feed in stalls. This provides every sow with her own feeding place where she can eat without being disturbed. This has the following advantages:

• all sows can eat simultaneously → no stress during feeding;
• protection against more aggressive sows → the stall acts as safe retreat for individual sows;
• ideal monitoring conditions for every sow since the stalls can be locked individually or altogether;
• high comfort provided for both the service personnel and the sows.

Free-access stall “BD“

• the front and door elements operate as an up-and-over door;
• integrated insemination door → simple insemination and pregnancy check;
• open design of the stall → good overview for the farm staff;
• the individual locking device can be operated at the front or at the back of the stall;
• group locking function (optional);

“Easy Lock“

• the sow enters the stall through a swinging door;
• easy to use;
• only minimal mechanics;
• special insemination door (optional) for easy monitoring, e.g. pregnancy checks;
