About gilt pens
Replacement gilts are the future of the sow herd. They need group pens sized for their weight, good footing, easy observation for heat detection and a clear route into the breeding unit. We configure gilt pens by group size and connect them to the rest of the breeding flow.
Common configurations
Group pens
Pens sized by group and gilt weight.
Panel and gate options
Solid or barred panels, different gates.
