As every pig farmer knows, there is increasing focus on animal welfare from processors, retailers and the general public. Farrowing systems, in particular, have come under greater scrutiny.
As a result, there is a growing move towards flexible farrowing layouts which, after a brief initial confinement during parturition, give sows more freedom to move while also providing a safer working environment for stockpeople.
ARM Buildings has extensive experience in this area, working closely with farmers, vets and manufacturers of flexible farrowing systems.
We offer a range of farrowing solutions, including Nijenkamp systems, and provide practical advice on key considerations when installing them, whether you're converting an existing building or designing a new farrowing house from scratch.
