The AP Company farrowing pen provides 50% more space for the resting sow, by having a 2.1 metres long crate that is also wider within a pen measuring 2.7m x 1.8m. A higher placing for the protective fingers on the crate rail gives the piglets more room at the udder for suckling. The creep area of 0.8 square metres offers increased lying space for the larger litter.
