Farrowing Stalls
Our new space-saving, FS-610 Farrowing stall feeder extends into
the aisle only 2 inches This allows installation of 2 rows of farrowing
stalls in a 22-ft wide building instead of a 24 ft wide building
being required With our stalls measuring 5 feet on centers, the
space saved for each two facing stalls (with pens) is 2ft by 5 ft, or 10
square ft At $lO per square foot building construction cost this
could amount to $5O saving per sow in the cost of the building
