A pallet is provided for farrowing pens and structured to prevent the sow from crushing newborn piglets. The pallet comprises an enthickened central portion having a flat upper surface and laterally sloping side panels extending downwardly and outwardly from the upper longitudinal edges of the central portion. Heating means are provided along the lower longitudinal edge of each side panel and the heating means is insulated from direct contact with the pallets. The heat attracts the piglets away from the sow and the insulation maintains the enthickened central portion at the ambient temperature of the farrowing pen for the sow's comfort.
