Wellfarrowing

A NEW STANDARD IN FREE-RANGE FARROWING PENS

WellFarrowing basis

Nooyen Pig Flooring is setting the trend in the market for free farrowing pens through the WellFarrowing farrowing pen. The WellFarrowing farrowing pen from Nooyen is the only free farrowing pen with no reduction in results. WellFarrowing offers the advantages of freedom of movement with maximum results thanks to the built-in Balance floor and delivers improved animal welfare for both the sow and the piglets.

 

INTEGRATED BALANCE FLOOR: FEWER CRUSHINGS

The new WellFarrowing farrowing pen provides better animal welfare and a higher return on investment. With the built-in Balance floor, the survival rate of newborn piglets is
maximised and crushing of piglets is minimized. Once the sow lies down, the height difference is gone and allows the piglets to drink at their mother safely and undisturbed.
 


 

INCREASED HYGIENE AND QUALITY OF LIFE

With WellFarrowing, hygiene and quality of life go hand in hand. Sows can walk around freely on a steel grid with soft coating, which offers sufficient grip. This grid optimises the
removal of manure and hygiene is guaranteed. On the soft, coated floor, the piglets will not damage their knees and nipples. Piglets remain healthy and there is a reduced risk for infections. WellFarrowing ensures maximum results.
