THE TOUGH FARROWING CRATES
EASY TO CLEAN - There’s a minimum of places for manure to hang
up and the round side-rails make clean-up easy. This means better
sanitation and longer crate life. Northco Farrowing Crates in use since
1968 are still in good condition.
LABOR-SAVING - Northco Farrowing Crates can raise more pigs with
less labor. Automatic feeding, watering and controlled manuring
reduce the “busy” work of farrowing and increase the time available
for management.
PIG-SAVING - Farrowing crates can help you wean an extra pig or
more per litter according to customer experience and university
research. Those extra pigs add up to extra profit for you.
Heavy-gauge, galvanized steel construction makes Northco Farrow
ing Crates tough... to stand up to hog-house abuse. But Northco Farr
owing Crates are more than strong.
Optional manual metering hopper is available for use with an
overhead fill system.
