Manage sow breeding operations efficiently with this Galvanized Pig Gestation Stall — an individual sow housing system designed for the gestation period, from breeding through to pre-farrowing.
Each stall provides individual confinement for one sow, helping reduce aggression, competition for feed, and injury risk that can occur in open group pens during gestation. A front-mounted feed trough is integrated into each stall, allowing controlled, individualized feeding — an important factor in managing sow body condition and nutrition during pregnancy.
Constructed from galvanized steel tubing, the frame is built to withstand the high-moisture, high-ammonia conditions typical of gestation barns, resisting corrosion over years of continuous use. The stall is designed for multi-unit gang installation, allowing farms to install connected rows of stalls to maximize space efficiency in gestation housing.
This is a straightforward, durable gestation housing solution suited to commercial hog operations that use individual sow stall systems as part of their breeding management program.
What is a pig gestation stall used for? A gestation stall houses an individual sow during the gestation (pregnancy) period, from breeding until she is moved to a farrowing crate shortly before giving birth. It is used to manage individual feeding and reduce competition or aggression between sows.
What is the difference between a gestation stall and a farrowing crate? A gestation stall houses a sow during pregnancy and does not include a piglet nursing area. A farrowing crate is used during and after birth and includes a separate zone for piglets to nurse safely alongside the sow. This product is a gestation stall, not a farrowing crate.
What material is this gestation stall made from? The frame is built from galvanized steel tubing, which resists rust and corrosion from the moisture, waste, and ammonia exposure common in gestation barn environments.
Can multiple gestation stalls be installed together? Yes. This stall is designed for gang-style installation, allowing multiple units to be connected in a row for efficient use of gestation barn floor space.
Does this stall include a feeder? Yes. Each stall has a front-mounted feed trough that allows individual feed delivery and monitoring for each sow.
Are individual gestation stalls allowed in all markets? Regulations on individual sow gestation stalls vary by country and region. Some markets, including parts of the European Union and certain U.S. states, restrict or prohibit long-term individual gestation stall housing in favor of group housing systems. Buyers should confirm current regulatory requirements in their target market before purchasing.
How is this gestation stall installed? The stall is installed on a flat concrete barn floor and secured using floor bolts or base fixing plates. Multi-unit rows are joined using connecting brackets between adjacent stalls.
What maintenance is required for a galvanized gestation stall? Galvanized steel requires minimal routine maintenance. Periodic inspection of welds, gate hinges, and the feed trough is recommended to maintain structural integrity over time.
