Product Details

1. Farrowing Crates (Delivery Stalls)

- **Durable Materials:** The sow area utilizes Q-grade ductile iron slatted flooring, offering high load-bearing capacity and excellent manure drainage. The guardrails are constructed from 32mm/26mm steel tubing that is entirely hot-dip galvanized, ensuring rust resistance, corrosion resistance, and a long service life.

- **Safe Confinement:** Features a precise confinement design at the rear (tail) section to restrict the sow's movement, preventing her from trampling or crushing piglets. The front section of the side rails is widened to facilitate easy access for the sow to drink water.

- **Convenient Feeding:** Features a stainless steel flip-over feeder for the sow; the feeding height can be adjusted according to the sow's size. The flip-over design makes cleaning more convenient and helps reduce feed waste.

- **Piglet Care:** The piglet area features plastic slatted flooring and hollow PVC enclosure panels with smooth surfaces that are easy to clean and provide excellent thermal insulation. The front section features a hot-dip galvanized fence to ensure proper ventilation. When paired with the electric heating plate and heat lamp, it creates a constant-temperature, warm environment for the piglets; the structure is securely fixed to prevent shifting.

2. Gestation Stalls (Confinement Stalls)

- **Robust Structure:** The stall panels feature an outer frame made of 32mm steel tubing reinforced with 22mm inner tubing. The entire structure undergoes hot-dip galvanizing treatment, ensuring high load-bearing capacity, resistance to deformation, and corrosion resistance—providing stable and reliable performance for long-term use. - **Gestational Protection:** Features independent gestation stalls that prevent fighting and overcrowding among sows, thereby reducing the risk of miscarriage during pregnancy; facilitates precise feeding and health monitoring.

- **User-Friendly Operation:** The front and rear gates are constructed from welded 26mm x 2.3mm steel tubing, featuring a fully hot-dip galvanized finish and a latch mechanism for easy opening and closing. The rear gate features a dual-purpose design: the concave side faces inward to facilitate artificial insemination, while the reverse side faces outward to simplify the cleaning of fecal matter from the sow's rear.

- **Hygiene and Convenience:** Equipped with a continuous stainless steel trough that is corrosion-resistant, durable, and features a smooth surface for easy cleaning, helping to maintain a sanitary barn environment; compatible with automated feeding lines to enhance management efficiency for gestating sows.

**Applicable Scenarios**

- Large- and medium-scale commercial pig farms

- Breeding stock bases and piglet nursery centers

- Standardization upgrades for family farms and independent breeders

- Experimental and demonstration projects at livestock research and educational institutions

2. The sow area features slatted flooring made of ductile iron.

3. Custom sizing is available upon request.

II. Application Areas

1. Farrowing crates are a core piece of equipment in intensive pig farming operations and are primarily utilized in the following scenarios:

① Large-scale Commercial Pig Farms: The primary application setting; they ensure the safety of sows during farrowing and lactation, while reducing piglet mortality caused by crushing.

② Breeding Stock Bases: Used for the precise care of breeding sows during farrowing, thereby enhancing piglet survival rates and overall quality.

③ Family Farms / Small-scale Producers: Serve as a modern alternative to traditional farming methods, simplifying management tasks and boosting farming efficiency.

④ Livestock Education and Research: Employed for instructional demonstrations in livestock management curricula and for practical demonstrations in animal husbandry research.

III. Key Advantages and Features

1. Highly Corrosion-Resistant and Durable

Core structural components are fabricated from welded hot-dip galvanized steel pipes (specifications: 32x2.3 and 26x2.3 mm). Enhanced by a comprehensive hot-dip galvanizing process, the system boasts exceptional rust and corrosion resistance, making it ideally suited for the humid environment of pig farms. This ensures a long service life and low maintenance costs.

2. Precise Protection, Reduced Losses

The sow area is equipped with nodular cast iron slatted flooring. The combination of a farrowing crate and a rear-limit design precisely restricts the sow's range of movement. This is paired with an adjustable, flip-style stainless steel feeder for the sow. This configuration effectively prevents the sow from trampling or crushing piglets while facilitating easy feeding and cleaning, thereby significantly reducing piglet mortality rates.

3. Comfortable Rearing Environment, Enhanced Survival

The piglet area features a combination of hollow PVC panels and hot-dip galvanized steel fencing, offering a smooth surface that is easy to clean. It is complemented by electric heating pads for piglets, fiberglass lamp shades, and heat lamps to create a constant-temperature rearing environment. This ensures the piglets' thermal comfort needs are met, leading to a significant improvement in post-weaning survival rates and uniformity.

4. Practical and Convenient, Effortless Operation

The side fencing features a widened design at the head section to facilitate easy drinking for the sow. The piglet area is installed on a stable, flat platform that effectively addresses the piglets' needs for both warmth and growth development. The overall structure is designed to integrate seamlessly with the high-efficiency management protocols of large-scale pig farms, thereby simplifying operational procedures.
