Penning for finishers

Modern production facilities for finishers require strong and durable housing environment that can withstand harsh, physical and chemical challenges - and at the same have the capability to provide the optimal environment for the pigs. Therefore, the pen design has great importance for the pigs' well-being and growth both of which are essential for healthy and profitable production.

Fiberglass penning for finishers

SKIOLD's finisher penning of fiberglass composite material is built using the same concept as our other pens. The fiberglass composite has a minimal volume of only 10 mm, reducing the construction and investment need.

The penning is closed at a height of 65 cm with either two or three horizontal pipes, giving a total height of 88 or 100 cm, respectively. In that way the penning can be more "open" wherever desired, making the pen easier to ventilate, helping to minimize the risk of tail biting

Despite its thickness, the fiberglass composite material is very durable, which helps to ensure the long lasting stamina and functionality of the pen. The smooth surface of the material reduces the accumulation of bacteria - enabling easy and efficient cleaning. A cleaner housing environment means better hygiene and a lower frequency of diseases, enabling a optimum conditions for animal growth and improved animal welfare.

For WTF-pens and hospital pens, a climate cover can be provided with a centrally operation system - either operated manually or by motor. This feature gives the opportunity for a good overview of the housing unit, and it makes it easier to identify a sick pig at an early stage.
