Pen gestation in a group sow housing for better environment

Group housing can provide the best environment for your animals when managed properly. Pen gestation allows sows freedom to move, along with improved social interaction and increased comfort. Records of sow farms who have made the transition to group housing document top reproductive performance and lower sow mortality rates because sows thrive in group environments.
