About SowEase™ Welfare Farrowing Crates
Farmjoy’s SowEase™ welfare farrowing crates are engineered to deliver a safe, comfortable farrowing
environment for sows and piglets, balancing strict global animal welfare standards with maximum swine
production efficiency. As a leading provider of complete pig farming solutions for projects across China,
France, the United States, Indonesia and Vietnam, we design our high-welfare farrowing system to respect
natural sow behavior, reduce piglet mortality, and simplify daily farm operations for both small-scale and
large farrow-to-finish swine farms.
SowEase™ Farrowing Crates Dimensions & Specifications
We offer 4 standardized sizes of our welfare farrowing crates to fit any barn layout and farm scale,
with custom sizing available upon request.
Unlike standard farrowing crates, our SowEase™ free-access farrowing system offers 3.0-4.0 ㎡ of
activity space for sows – 1.5x more than conventional crates. This design supports natural nesting
behavior before farrowing and free movement after delivery, fully compliant with European Union
animal welfare regulations and global sustainable pig farming requirements.
