FarrowComfort - Farrowing Pen for Loose Sows
Better animal welfare and overall productivity
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.
