The pig farrowing crate is a small metal cage in which pregnant sows are kept for weeks on end, usually from a week before giving birth until their piglets are weaned three to four weeks later. The piglets are free to reach the sow’s teats to suckle but she is prevented from moving close to them and cleaning them by the bars of the cage.

The pig Farrowing crate provide ideal conditions both for the sow and for the piglets during their first weeks of life. For this purpose, We have 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.

The plastic flooring ensures good manure penetration and does not have any sharp corners or edges. It can be cleaned easily and can be combined with solid plates, cast iron slats and heating plates for the piglets. Depending on the housing concept, the crates can be arranged straight or diagonally.

Main Advantages:

  • All farrowing crates can be adjusted in width and length.
  • Designed either with door or to allow for complete opening.
  • Fixed or adjustable keep-off rods prevent piglet losses caused by crushing and provide the sow with a comfortable resting area.
  • Self-supporting farrowing crate or 4-foot crate for optimum stability.
  • Low pen partitions in the area of the inspection aisle, for easy monitoring and a better overview.
  • Includes tiltable trough for thorough and easy cleaning (optional).

Free Movement Plan:

To fulfill 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.

Main Advantages:

  • Minimum pen dimensions 2 x 2.6 m  2.5 m2 space for the sow.
  • Removable 4-leg maternity bed provides ample freedom of movement for the sow animal-friendly housing.
  • Restraining of the sow close to the due date reduces the risk of piglet losses.
