Well-protected piglets, clever design
Sow management: Big Dutchman’s variable-restraint pen makes all the difference 🐷
During farrowing and the first critical days of the piglets’ life, the farrowing frame provides maximum safety. Once the piglets are stronger, the frame can be opened easily in just four steps.
- farrowing frame for the crucial start phase;
- the specially designed door of the farrowing frame provides easy access to assist the sow during farrowing;
- the sides of the farrowing frame help protect the piglets from overlying;
- heated lying area/creep;
- flexible arrangement: pen in parallel to the aisle or with the sow’s head against the wall;
- low pen partitions for a good overview and easy access.
