Hog Slat literally wrote the book on group sow housing during gestation. Stanchion systems provide a safe and effective sow feeding solution that is easily adaptable for animals and caretakers transitioning from a traditional gestation stall housing system. Stanchion systems offer several advantages compared to ESF and free-access stalls, especially in existing barn remodel projects.
