The farrowing stall features a cast iron floor for a sow and concrete or plastic grating floors for piglets. Side restraints in the pen reduce the chance of piglets being crushed by the sow while feeding. The feeding trough and the shelf in the farrowing pen stay at some distance from the floor, thereby providing additional space for the sow.
