Group Housing Pens for Sows
Pens that keep gestating sows in groups with space for free movement and individual feeding.
- Sows live in groups with room to move
- Works with electronic sow feeding
- Layout planned to reduce competition
Sizes and configuration are customised to the project; details are agreed with you before quotation.
Overview
In group housing, gestating sows live in pens together rather than in individual stalls. Group pens are usually combined with electronic sow feeding stations so each sow still receives her own ration. Good pen layout, feeder access and flooring reduce competition and injuries.

Frequently asked questions
How many sows per group?
Groups from small static groups of 6–10 to large dynamic groups of 40 or more are used. We design the layout for your choice.
Do I need a feeding station?
Not always, but it is the usual way to give each sow her own ration in a group. We compare options with you.
Are pens made of galvanised steel?
Frames are hot-dip galvanised steel for long life in a wet house. Panels can be steel or PVC, depending on the stage and your preference.
Can pen sizes be changed?
Yes. Dimensions are set by the pig size, group size and local welfare rules, and the layout can be customised for the house.
Do you supply flooring with the pens?
Yes. Plastic, cast iron and concrete slats are available, and we match them to the pen type.
Do you supply both steel and PVC panels?
Yes. Steel is used for frames and open fronts; PVC panels are used for solid sides that are easy to wash.
Can you match pens I already have?
Often yes. Send us drawings or photos with dimensions and we check how to match them.
Are sizes and configurations fixed?
No. Dimensions, materials and configuration are customised to your herd size, climate and local rules, and agreed with you before quotation.
Are the specifications on your product pages final?
They are typical reference values to help you compare. Final specifications are confirmed with you before quotation.
Who installs the equipment?
Our installation teams install and commission the equipment. The scope for each project is agreed in the contract.
What warranty do you give?
Warranty terms depend on the equipment and are agreed per project in the contract.
