Good design for high performance, well-being and working environment
The design of a pen has a major impact on pig performance and well-being. A good pen design promotes high productivity levels by providing pigs with good access to feed and water and features that support their natural and social behaviour. Pen design also makes a difference for staff, and the right design makes workflow easier and more efficient.
The correct choice of materials influences the results of your production
The material used in pens has a huge impact on the lifespan and durability of the equipment. It also plays a big role in pig health, as easy-to-clean materials improve hygiene in the pen and reduce the risk of disease transmission between pens.
