Floor systems for farrowing pens
Innovative and comfortable for sow and piglets
Main advantages
Sows and piglets have different requirements regarding thermal conduction and heat storage. A combination of different slats should therefore be used for the floors in farrowing pens. Cast iron flooring ensures a cool lying place for the sow while heating plates are ideal to warm the piglets.
