Easy Management for sows and piglet

The farrowing crate with “finger protection”, along with other components of the farrowing pen creates an ideal environment for both sows and piglets. THe idea is emphasised on easy management, sow comfort and safety of piglets. The type of farrowing crate with ‘finger’ allows piglets to access the sow’s teats freely from both sides. The specially designed ‘fingers’ curvature are in accordance to the sow’s body shape, which is detrimental in protecting the piglets from overlying sows.

Technical

Height of the pen partition can be 500 or 600mm
