YOU GET ALL OF THESE ADVANTAGES WITH A BIS DUTCHMAN FARROWING UNIT. Workable design and durability make the Big Dutchman Farrowing Unit the leader in the field. Constructed of tough 16 gauge SQUARE steel tubing and embossad draft panels with heavy galvanized side wall, it offers maximum rigidity while exclusive reinforced edges assure stability. Lower side bars are double strength and feature my adjusting. Side members are WELDED to-the frame doing away with time consuming nut and bolt cleaning. Built in Big Dutchman HEAT MATS and SLATTED FLOOR reduce mortality rates. Pigs are born on the porce lainized steel slatted floor and immediately seek warmth of the first of two "safety zone” heat mats. When the first heat mat is turned off, they seek the heat of the second mat which is located at the front of the unit. Ry nesting on this mat, pigs quickly form the good dunging habits vital to a disuse free environment. Heat mats will not overheat the sow, reducing gte loss due to discomfort and uneasiness. FOR FARROWING, FINISHING, GESTATION or NURSERY... for one piece or an entire system... for total confinement, semi-confinement or pen feed lots, it will profit you to look to the leader. Big Dutchman has equipped hundreds of profit making hog operations and has an open invitation for you to inspect them.
