Farrowing Crate (for Pigs)
The farrowing crate is a metal enclosure in which sows used for breeding are kept shortly before and after parturition in order to keep their piglets safe.
It is designed in such a way that it is impossible for the sow to lie on the piglets, this provides the right environment for both sows and piglets in the farrowing house as well as help to minimize mortality and maximize growth rate of the piglets.

The farrowing crate is a uniquely coupled metal cage in which pregnant sows are housed from approximately five days before birth. This continues until their piglets are weaned at approximately 28 days of age.
This equipment helps reduce piglet mortality as it reduces the risk of the piglets being crushed by the sow by controlling her movements, particularly when lying down.
Advantages of using the farrowing crates
In addition to reducing the risk of crushing, the farrowing crate has become the main form of maternity housing for pigs. It has the following advantages:
- Economical: When compared to most indoor housing options, the farrowing crate is relatively economical.
- Space Saving: a typical farrowing crate can fit into a floor footprint of only 3.6 square meters per sow and litter.
- Efficient: the farrowing crate allows efficient working conditions. They facilitate relatively high levels of hygiene and minimal mucking out.
- Safe: as the sow is constrained to the dimensions of the crate, it affords relatively safe conditions for stock people, especially when having to handle piglets.
Farrowing crates are thus considered to be economical, efficient and safe with maximizing piglet survival.

We currently offer three shipping options: Local Pickup shipping, Economy shipping, and Convenient shipping options.
Local Pickup is the shipping option that gives our customers affordable delivery fees with flexible control over the pickup of their orders.
This means that the customer can pick up his or her package from a local road transport park or an agreed pickup point close to his/her home or office address. We ensure swift and secure deliveries through commercial vehicles from third-party transporters and road transport agencies across Nigeria.
We also make sure the third-party transporters are supplied with the contact details of the customers for communication and a smooth delivery process.
For this type of delivery method, we always encourage our customers to get ready to pick up their items before the drivers get to the agreed pickup point or park.
