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.
Advantages with FarrowComfort:
- Provides ample room for both the sow and piglets, ensuring comfort and freedom of movement.
- The sow's trough and piglet nest are strategically placed close to the aisle for easy access and efficient management.
- A close-fitting door minimizes drafts, creating a warm and safe space for piglets.
- Flexible, customizable farrowing wings accommodate the needs of sows, enhancing safety and comfort.
- The pen’s design makes it simple to move sows in and out, saving time and effort.
- Specially designed farrowing wings allow quick and easy fixation of the sow when needed, improving safety for piglets and handlers.
- The layout offers excellent visibility from the hallway, allowing for efficient monitoring and management.
“It would be the same if I had to choose a farrowing pen again... It is easy to empty the trough from the walkway. The feed dispenser is also close to the walkway, so you avoid going in and out of pen frequently”
