Multiflex Farrowing pen
Average sow weight has increased dramatically over the last 10 years. Sows are now longer and produce a greater number of young. Larger sows, larger litters and requirements for maximum growth rates and optimum conditions for weaning the greatest number of piglets make high demands on the farrowing crate.
Ikadan has accepted the challenge and has designed a farrowing crate that gives the sow more space, allowing it to get up and lie down more easily. The special height and design of the support bar ensure optimum protection of the piglets when the sow lies down. The extra-long outward-bending fingers support the sow and give more room to the piglets while nursing. Thanks to such optimised conditions for both sow and piglets, higher piglet weight at weaning is possible.

Rear gate of farrowing crate
The rear gate has been designed with the focus on achieving the best possible work environment. A guide ensures that the gate can be quickly and easily shut. There are no loose bars which have to be coaxed into place. Instead, the bars are equipped with a plastic handle, fitted at a comfortable working height. The handle is simply released once the gate has been positioned in the guide. The gate can be adjusted to four different widths.

Creep box
The creep box is completely draught-proof. It is made of moulded plastic and has a hole for fitting a heat lamp. The creep box is supplied with a cover, which is simply turned into position. The creep box has easily cleaned surfaces and rounded corners. A door with so-called "doghouse opening" is also available, allowing the box to be opened or closed as required.

Trough
The plastic trough has a capacity of 22 litres. It is equipped with a plinth, so there is no need to cast a costly concrete base beneath it. This allows more room for the piglets, whose creep box can be extended right up to the side of the trough. It also minimises the risk of piglets being crushed or the unhygienic accumulation of feed remains beneath and alongside the trough.

Pen sides
Pen sides consist of Ikadan Multiflex cellular panels. Built-in posts with base plates and moulded creep box supports reduce internal production costs at the factory and external fitting costs on site, thus ensuring optimum solutions at very competitive prices.

Gates
The well-known cleaning opening in Ikadan Ultraflex floors facilitates the removal of excess manure and minimises the risk of manure accumulating along the rear gate of the pen. The pen side design allows the rear gate to be angled. The rear gate consists of Ikadan Multiflex cellular panels. It is equipped with built-in handles at the sides and centre, allowing the extremely light-weight gate to be easily operated with one hand.
