The BeFree free farrowing pen has now established itself as one of the leading free farrowing systems in Europe and has been further developed in important details
An innovative and modular concept for the piglet nest allows it to be flexibly adapted to different size ratios, even up to the rearing of the piglets in the pen (FT 30 - farrow to 30 kg).
A large piglet nest with a closeable flap and full cover with integrated flap offers optimal starting conditions for the piglets. The sow can be offered feed and straw in the combined trough. Protective bracket for temporarily sow fixation.
Due to the unique, patented geometry of the farrowing pen, it is possible to ensure a movement area of 5.0 m2 for the sows with entire 6.5 m2 of pen area. A specially designed swivel bracket wall enables the full functionality of a standard farrowing crate to protect the newborn piglets while it is closed for the first few days. If this crate wall is swivelled 90 ° away from the piglet nest, the sow has the greatest possible freedom of movement, as no “dead”, inaccessible corners remain.
But still most important to the farmers is the patented geometry, where labour can handle all necessary tasks safe and extensive from corridor.
