Since the abolition of sow stalls in the UK over a decade ago, Quality Equipment has had considerable experience in the design and construction of practical loose housing systems and service areas.
Quality Equipment can offer a variety of options for the farrowing house according to the system favoured by the pig farmer.
These include:
- Traditional farrowing crates
- Raised farrowing crates (dry-bed system)
- Balance floor system
- Freedom farrowing
There are many options depending on the pig farmer’s preferences and the system employed. These can utilise slatted floors for greater hygiene, solid floors or a combination of both. At QE we are flexible enough to take into account such factors as the availability of the farm’s own straw and whether wet or dry feeding systems will influence the choice of design.
