Ter Huurne, Hengevelde (NL)

Mts Karel & Thijs Ter Huurne from Hengevelde has replaced the 20 year old super coated farrowingslats.

The complete farowing floor exists of fire retardant Woven Wire elements of 2300 x 1000 mm. Because there is no sow-insert and no intergrated nest these floors are interchangeable. In this way each element can be used 4 times. For the piglets a rubber mat in combination with a lamp is used. The Ter Huurne family has 1200 sows with a avarage production over 31 piglets per sow per year.
