Bopil BeFree Faresti
Path to free-range sows
BeFree is a revolutionary farrowing pen equipped with all the features needed to promote natural behavior. BeFree gives free-range sows more freedom to engage in natural behavior, which improves litter performance. The sow has a better view of her piglets and is therefore better able to care for them.
BeFree is one of the few systems that also places a high priority on the employee’s working environment. The swing bar allows the sow to be secured and can be operated with one hand. All tasks can be performed from the aisle.
Mortality among piglets is reduced due to the sow’s natural behavior. The litter performs much better, and weaning weight increases.
The time spent working along the pens is reduced because the feed troughs and pig pens are located along the barn aisle. This lightens the workload in the barn.
Insulated piglets' nests save energy. A well-designed piglets' nest retains heat and reduces mortality among newborn piglets.
Minimal traffic on the path and ample open space allow the sow to behave naturally. This reduces stress and promotes animal welfare.
BeFree ensures good hygiene and is easy to clean. The open design of the path makes cleaning quick and efficient, ensuring that hygiene standards are always high.
The swing bar allows for easy one-handed restraint of the sow. All tasks can be performed from the aisle, reducing the risk of workplace injuries.
The sow has a better view of her piglets in the BeFree farrowing pen. This natural view reduces the risk of the sow lying on top of the piglets.
BeFree combines high animal welfare with cost-effectiveness. Better litter performance and lower mortality rates directly improve the bottom line in pig production.
