A gestation crate, also known as sow stalls or pig stall, In much of the world it is common for a pregnant sow to be kept in it for the whole of her 16-week pregnancy. A standard gestation crate measures 6.6 ft x 2.0 ft (2 m x 60 cm), but China market type is 2.2*0.6m.
Pig gestation crate contain no bedding material and are instead floored with slatted plastic, concrete or metal to allow waste to be efficiently collected below. This waste is then flushed into open-air pits known as lagoons. A few days before giving birth, sows are moved to farrowing crates where they are able to lie down, with an attached crate from which their piglets can nurse.
