STY FOR SOWS HAVING PIGLETS

摘要

A sty (2) for sows having piglets is described. The sty (2) may be built having the same area requirements as for sties for bounded sows but may be used for untethered sows. This takes place in that a rectangular sty department (1) is divided by a diagonal wall (5) which is adjacent to a corner of a rectangular climate department (7) for piglets which are placed at each corner of the sty department (1). In order to establish natural lying positions (11) for the sow the sty (2) comprises mounted devices (10) in the floor which simultaneously protects the piglets against squeezing when the sow lies down.
