| Product Overview | The Plastic-Coated Dummy Sow is a dedicated mounting platform designed to simulate the standing posture of a sow and encourage trained boars to mount during semen collection. Its steel plate structure is covered with a 5 mm plastic coating to provide a more comfortable contact surface for the boar. The mounting height and platform angle can be adjusted according to the size and standing posture of different boars, helping create a stable and comfortable semen collection environment. | ||||||||||||||||||||||

| Working Principle | The dummy sow provides a stable artificial mounting surface that imitates the physical presence and standing position of a sow. A trained boar mounts the platform, allowing semen collection equipment to be positioned beneath or behind the boar. The adjustable height and platform angle help adapt the mounting position to the individual boar. A stable, non-slip mounting platform is commonly recommended for boar semen collection to support safe and consistent collection procedures. | ||||||||||||||||||||||

| Installation & Maintenance | Place the dummy sow on a firm, level and non-slip floor in a dedicated semen collection area. Adjust the mounting height and platform angle before introducing the boar. Make sure the base is stable and the structure does not move during mounting. Clean and disinfect the plastic-coated surface after each collection session according to the farm's biosecurity procedures. Regularly inspect the adjustment mechanism, steel structure and plastic coating for damage or looseness, and repair or replace damaged components before continued use. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
