FREEDA Solutions Sow barn remodeling

Don’t let the age or size of your stall barn discourage you from remodeling to group housing. We have worked in barns of all sizes and styles, designing group sow gestation pens that are comfortable for sows to support efficient production.
With our experience in sow barn remodeling, we can design new dynamic or static group pens over existing slatted floors in your stalled barn.

Not sure where to start? We are, and we will be with you every step of the way – before, during and after your sow barn remodeling project.

Get it right - right from the start

Ask 10 pork producers to describe their farms, and you’ll get 10 answers. Ask the same group the most important thing about their farms, and they’ll probably say, “Our people and our pigs.”

We agree.

Correctly-designed sow gestation pens can help you make the most of the benefits of group sow housing, including improved sow well-being, increased ability to observe sows and a quieter, more pleasant working environment. An important part of sow pen design is minimizing conflict when feeding sows.

The right design includes feeders with forward exits. Separating the feeder entrance and exit creates create one-way sow traffic to minimize confrontation between fed and unfed sows. Our system’s design discourages dominating sows from guarding the entrance to the feeder. It also protects all sows while they eat their individual rations.

“Our goal is to identify those pigs that are the most efficient users of feed and classify those genetic lines.”

FREEDA Walk In ESF

FREEDA Walk-In is a solution with full focus on individual feeding of sows during the gestation period, that can be adapted to most existing housing systems, such as pens with floor feeding or boxes. And it requires a minimum of training for the sows.

FREEDA Walk Through

FREEDA Walk-Through is the right solution when transponder feeding in static groups is the obvious choice. The sow has an electronic ear tag and thus only gets the intended feed and has the opportunity to eat undisturbed.

FREEDA Dynamic ESF

The FREEDA Dynamic ESF for dynamic groups allows you to manage groups larger than 100 sows simply and without losing the overview. The sows do, on the other hand, which means that aggression and power struggles for rank are kept to a minimum.
