The
PORCOM Farrowing Floor is utilizing a heavy-duty coated creep area
designed to support the raised SCHONLAU cast-iron
center. This
innovative idea reduces the overall manufacturing costs of this farrowing deck
and will pass these savings on to you - the farm operator. The raised center and
creep areas are separate units to ease handling, installation and flexibility.
From the five different (12"-48" wide) open or partially closed creep
areas available, the proper system for your individual application can be
selected.
For your sows, the SCHONLAU cast-iron slats provide a slip-resistant, durable surface that safeguards against teat and foot injuries and shoulder abrasions. It allows superior manure filtration, cleaning and disinfecting, and
will not harbor diseases. With the SCHONLAU cast-iron slats you have a proven farrowing floor with an unmatched warranty and service life that gives your sows their best chances for maximum production.
For your piglets, the plastisol coated expanded metal creep
areas will greet your newborn piglets with a soft, warm,
bedding-type environment. Those costly and painful bruises, abrasions and other
discomforting problems are greatly reduced. The non-conducting insulating
surface reduces the heat loss of your piglets and results in faster daily gains
and earlier weaning. The comfortable soft, warm surface will keep your piglets
away from the area under the sow, therefore increasing the number of piglets
weaned.
