ATX Structured Pen

ATX Structured Pen

With the ATX Structured Pen, we offer a proven solution for free farrowing. The sow can move freely, follow her natural nesting behaviour and give birth to her piglets in peace. At the same time, the well-designed pen structure keeps the piglets safe and helps them develop optimally.
The Structured Pen is the result of our many years of experience with free farrowing and is now regarded as the flagship among loose farrowing pens in Switzerland.

Thought through to the last detail

• Clear zones: The division into feeding, lying and activity areas ensures calm and order in the pen.
• ATX Thermonest: The piglet nest gives the piglets a warm, sheltered place from day one.
• Structural wall and lying-down aids: They help the sow lie down safely and keep piglet losses low.
• ATX MuKimat: Thanks to sow-and-piglet feeding, the piglets learn early on to eat solid feed by copying the sow.

The ATX Structured Pen combines species-appropriate housing with efficient work.
