As part of the ‘Ban of cages’ topic, this new video presents a good practice implemented on Krannestrup farm in Denmark.

Since 2013, the farm has adopted a temporary confinement system during the first days after farrowing to reduce piglet mortality and improve working conditions. The method involves limiting the sow’s ability to turn by adjusting the front of the creep area — without resorting to permanent confinement.

Des chaleurs visibles, des inséminations mieux planifiées

Les cochettes PIC présentent des signes de chaleur clairs et précoces (dès 150 jours), facilitant la détection et réduisant les jours non productifs. Résultat : une planification plus fluide et jusqu’à 40 € économisés par coche en alimentation et logement.

As part of the “Ban of cages” topic, we present the good practice MamaGuide, developed by a Danish farmer who has been managing loose lactating sows since 2007.

MamaGuide is a floor-mounted pen device that prevents sows from rolling, significantly reducing the risk of piglet crushing — one of the main challenges in loose housing systems. It can be installed in both new and existing pens, regardless of the manufacturer.
