Pig farrowing crates
The pig farrowing crates is a new sow nursery bed that is suitable for large, medium and small scale pig farms. The bottom of the bed is made of cast iron plus plastic or all plastic, and the frame is welded with high quality hot-dip galvanized steel pipe. The bottom is entirely made of ductile iron frame, which is more resistant to corrosion and acid and alkali.
Why do farmers use farrowing crates?
1. The sows have excellent sanitary conditions during the littering period, and the discharged materials are leaking and leakage, which ensures the hygiene of the piglets and protects them from infection.
2. It can effectively prevent sow crushing and crushing piglets, and piglets gain faster weight than ground piglets. It is a special collar designed for sow delivery and suckling piglets.
3. Eliminate the accumulation of accumulated urine and feces, so that the sows away from the dirty and humid living environment.
4. The design of the pig farrowing crates is designed to prevent the pigs from being crushed and killed by the sows, and to prevent the spread of various diseases because the sows and piglets do not touch the ground.
The new pig farrowing crates design leads the development direction of the pig farrowing crates, and the quality of the bed accessories is also improved.
pig farrowing crates production range: Sow litter, piglet lactation stage
Highlights of Farrowing House Supporting Facility
1. The whole support beam of farrowing house are made of nodular cast iron, which are durable and anti-corrosion.
2. Our nodular cast iron adopts epoxy aluminum coating resin sand technology, so the products have no burrs and will not hurt the pigs.
3. After improving the technology level, we diminishes the gap of the floor (for sow use) to 8.5-9mm. The traditional standard is 11-12mm. At present we are the only manufacturer which can achieve this level. It can totally avoid the damage to the sow’s nipples which caused by the gap of the floor.
We Supply 3 Models of Pig Farrowing Crates & Conjoined Pig Farrowing Crate
Device Configuration
1. Hot-dip zinc or spray paint piglet fence, sow limit bar;
2. Cast iron sow trough or steel plate trough;
3. Plastic, cast iron composite floor mesh or all cast iron floor mesh, cast iron steel beam;
4. FRP insulation box, stainless steel or copper drinker;
5. Stainless steel or steel piglet feeding trough.
Features of the equipment: It is the special equipment for the sow during the littering period. The piglets are kept on the clean and comfortable floor to prevent the pigs from being squeezed. The pig manure falls into the septic tank through the slatted floor, which can reduce the disease caused by the feces. Increase the survival rate of piglets. Composite board sow farrowing crates bmc material leaking board; using unsaturated resin. A new type of septic board made of various fiber materials such as a low shrinkage agent. It has high strength, corrosion resistance, no aging, no sticky manure, no sticky manure, easy to clean and so on. There are two types of gussets, which can meet the needs of various delivery columns, nursery columns, and limit bars. With a service life of 30 years, it is the first choice for the future of pig raising equipment. Moreover, the composite board does not cool the sow, and the sow does not scratch the teat.
Sow farrowing crates installation instructions:
1. Use screws to fix the six legs and frame of the bed (the frame consists of four 1.8-meter flower beams on the front and back and two 2.1-meter vertical beams on both sides), but do not tighten too tightly for easy adjustment.
2. The spacing between the vertical beams at the bottom of the bed is: 50cm, 60cm, 70cm, 70cm, 60cm, 50cm, screwed with the flower beam, pay attention not to tighten too tight, easy to adjust.
3. The order of floor placement is (span): 50cm, 60cm, 70cm, 70cm, 60cm, 50cm;
4. Installation of the bed frame: a, install 2.1 m fence, two 45 cm small doors in front and rear, connect the small door and the fence with short iron bars; b, the main frame, the bottom is connected with the flower beam with screws, with iron bars and Other parts of the shelf are connected; c, other parts are similarly installed. Two 1.4 m fences are installed in the middle of the bed and are connected to the main frame by iron bars. The top of the main frame is connected to the 65m iron pipe by a "U" clip.
5. The incubator is placed in the middle and fixed with a 2.1 m iron pipe. The sow trough is fixed on the front door with screws. The screws of the piglet feeding trough are squeezed by hand, inserted into the underground floor, and fixed by rotation.
6. Check to tighten all the screws and install them.
Farrowing house is a necessities of modern pig farming. It is a determining factor of whether a pig farm is successful or not. The key elements of design a farrowing house are breed of the sow and the level of the environment in the whole workshop. The breed decide the bodily form of the sow, and the level of the environment decide the space design for the piglet. We broke the traditional design philosophy, and design the most suitable farrowing house according to customer’s requirement. The key factor of achieve production index is also suitable equipments.

Are pig crates legal in UK?
Sometimes there is confusion between the sow stall (which was banned in Britain in 1999) and the farrowing crate. The only real difference between a sow stall and a farrowing crate is that a sow is kept in the sow stall for longer (throughout her entire pregnancy). Welfare issues are more-or-less identical between stalls and crates, but the crate is still used for most sows in this country: 74 per cent (BPEX 2008) of the 427,000 breeding sows in Britain (BPEX, 2011).
