Sow Trough and Piglet Nest are close to the aisle

FarrowComfort is a farrowing pen for loose sows, where a sow trough is located close to the aisle. The piglet nest is also located close to the aisle, which makes it easy to access both the sow and the piglets.

The pen provides plenty of space inside, which is crucial for both the sow’s comfort and makes the handling of the animal easy.

The design includes adjustable farrowing wings which allow adaptation to the individual sow, maximizing safety and comfort. The door in the pen is positioned so that it can be easily opened to both sides or removed completely, giving the sow easy access.

A key aspect of FarrowComfort is the easy observation from the aisle, especially with a lowered area at the sow's rear, which makes it easy to see if the sow needs birthing assistance.

Søren Michaelsen

Søren Michaelsen is a Danish pig farmer. He is in the process of expanding to 900 sows with a 30-kilogram production capacity. Part of the project includes a new farrowing barn for loose-housed sows.

The FarrowComfort farrowing pen has been chosen for this, with the trough and piglet nest facing the aisle. This design allows staff to easily check if the sow is eating while also making cleaning simpler.

Easy to move the sow in and out
A particular focus in the design is the gate, which fits tightly to the sides and to the floor. This gate is designed so that it can be opened to both sides or removed completely, which allows the sow to enter and exit from both directions.
