A farrowing crate is defined by a cage having a main central flooring section fro the sow and two side sections for the piglets. A feeder is located at the front wall for supplying feed to the sow when standing and includes a hopper mounted on a front gate outside the crate for and a trough for receiving feed discharged from the hopper. The trough is formed by a base plate lying substantially flat on the flooring from the hopper rearwardly to a raised transverse restricting member to restrict the escape of feed formed by an inverted V-shaped rib formed in the base plate spaced from the front wall and extending generally across the base plate to define a trough area of a height which allows the sow to lie with its neck and head over the restricting member without discomfort. The gate panel includes guards each side of the opening to restrict side to side movement of the sow's head. The trough is restricted by sides at the sides of the sow flooring.
Case de parturition formée par une cage dotée d'une section centrale principale de revêtement de sol pour la truie et de deux sections latérales pour les porcelets. Un dispositif d'alimentation se trouve au niveau de la paroi avant et sert à la distribution d'aliments à la truie lorsque celle-ci est debout. Le dispositif d'alimentation comprend également une trémie montée sur une porte avant à l'extérieur de la case ainsi qu'une auge pour recevoir des aliments déchargés de la trémie. L'auge est formée par un plateau de base reposant principalement à plat sur le sol, partant de la trémie et se prolongeant vers l'arrière en direction d'un élément de restriction transversal surélevé servant à limiter l'écoulement des aliments. L'élément de restriction est doté d'une nervure en forme de V inversé placée dans le plateau de base, espacée de la paroi avant et s'étendant généralement à travers le plateau de base afin de définir une zone d'auge d'une hauteur permettant à la truie d'être couchée alors que son cou et sa tête reposent sur l'élément de restriction tout en permettant à la truie d'être confortable. Le panneau d'ouverture comprend des dispositifs de protection de chaque côté de l'ouverture afin de limiter le mouvement latéral de la tête de la truie. L'auge est restreinte par des parois sur les côtés du revêtement de sol dans la section pour la truie.
