CON-TENTED Weaner/drysow/Gilt hut
The Weaner Hut is a completely new approach to housing newly weaned piglets from 5kgs to 40kgs and the Dry Sow/Gilt Hut is unlike any other housing on the market, moving completely away from high maintenance short lifespan materials like sheet steel and wood. Constructed in the same way as our very popular Aardvark and Armadillo farrowing arks, the one piece polyethylene moulded shell is twin walled throughout with a wide air cavity between. This provides unrivalled temperature control in extreme summer and winter conditions. Very little condensation is generated delivering big savings in straw usage and providing the livestock with a much dryer, healthier environment in which to live. The smooth framework free design lifts cleanly away from old bedding with no dirt traps or ledges to hold onto old material.
