Outdoor Area Details
As the flooring of the outdoor area is usually solid and the dung needs to be mechanically removed once to twice per week, it is especially important that the sows and piglets are secured and the exercise area is made accessible by swinging away the exercise grilles.
- The exit doors are available in high and low versions
- They can be easily opened by the sow
- Integrated flap for piglets
