The Sow Farrowing Crate is designed for sows during farrowing and lactation while providing a protected area for piglets. The crate uses welded steel tubing with a hot-dip galvanized finish for durability and corrosion resistance in livestock housing environments.
The adjustable sow stall width accommodates sows of different body sizes. An integrated anti-crush bar helps reduce the risk of piglet injury when the sow lies down, while the PVC side panels and separate rear access provide practical farm management and cleaning convenience.
Adjustable Sow Width: The sow stall can be adjusted to accommodate different sow body sizes.
Hot-Dip Galvanized Frame: Provides corrosion protection and durability in humid livestock environments.
Anti-Crush Bar: Helps slow the sow's movement when lying down and reduces the risk of piglet crushing.
Strong Welded Structure: Welded steel tubing provides a stable framework for daily farm use.
PVC Side Panels: Help define the sow and piglet areas while providing a practical partition system.
Separate Rear Door: Provides convenient access for cleaning and farm management.
Multiple Floor Options: Plastic, plastic-coated steel, cast iron, and triangular steel flooring can be selected according to project requirements.
Practical Farm Layout: Designed to integrate with feeding, drinking, flooring, and piglet care equipment.

Working Principle
The farrowing crate provides a controlled space for the sow while maintaining a separate protected area for piglets. The adjustable crate width helps position the sow appropriately according to her body size.
During lying down, the movable anti-crush bar helps slow the sow's downward movement and creates additional protection for piglets around the sow. This type of anti-crush arrangement is commonly used in farrowing equipment to reduce piglet crushing risk.
