ORIGINAL PORCONFARROWING CRATE

The Porcon® farrowing crate is optimal for modern large

sow farms. The inverted bottom tubes of the crate pro-

vide a spacious and therefore comfortable surface for the

sow. Because of this, the sow can quietly farrow without

being disturbed by obstacles (like for example “rejecta-

bles”). Because the sow quietly can do farrowing, the sow

is therefore less exhausted and recovers much faster.

Protection brackets for the sow, which will be placed at

the right place, ensure that the sow cannot drop them-

selves. The piglets have enough time to step aside for the

sow when they notice that sow wants to lie down.

The design of the Porcon® farrowing crate makes it possi-

ble for the piglets to reach the nipples without obstacles.

They can drink the fi rst important milk from the begin-

ning. There will be no starving piglets by obstacles from

the crate. Therefore the sow is not harassed by hungry

piglets. She can rest, which will have a positive infl uence

on weaning.

The piglets are free to move all around the entire farrow-

ing crate. Furthermore, the piglets can escape from the

sow in case that the sow is in an aggressive mood.

THE PORCON® FARROWING CRATE CAN BE AD-JUSTED IN 3 POSITIONS:

In width between protection brackets for the piglets In height by adjusting the bottom tube. The sow can

never come under the bottom tube and the piglets

have free access to the nipples In length by adjusting the door

The Porcon® farrowing crate ensures that the

sow has optimal access to the water. The sow

can take enough water during weaning and

ensure good milk.
