Farrowing Hut
A durable, insulated farrowing hut designed to improve sow and piglet welfare, reduce losses, and withstand Australian outdoor conditions.
Details
The Aardvark Farrowing Ark offers an industry-leading housing solution for sows and piglets in outdoor or semi-outdoor systems. Engineered with a one-piece twin-skin plastic shell filled with approximately 50 mm of foam insulation and an internal area of 4.15 m², this unit delivers exceptional thermal control and durability.
The unique spherical form allows piglets to lie safely around the sow in a 360° safety zone, significantly reducing crushing risk.
With UV-stable recyclable construction, smooth internal surfaces free of corners or ledges, and heavy-duty structural reinforcements, the Ark lifts far above typical metal or timber huts in performance, hygiene and lifespan.
Features
- Durable twin-skin plastic construction, UV-stable and 100 % recyclable.
- Foam-filled insulation cavity (~50 mm) for improved stable internal climate.
- Internal floor area of 4.15 m² – larger than most standard huts.
- Slide-over door and igloo-style porch for enhanced weather protection and bio-security.
- Designed for piglet safety with 360° space around the sow to reduce crushing.
- Smooth moulded plastic interior for easy cleaning and hygiene maintenance.
- Stable in high-wind outdoor conditions and designed for long-life use.
Benefits
- Maintains a more stable internal environment: cooler in summer, warmer in winter — reducing animal stress and straw usage.
- Reduces piglet mortality through enhanced safety zone design and better lying spaces.
- Long-life, low-maintenance structure outlasts traditional metal or timber alternatives — delivering better return on investment.
- Easy to keep clean and hygienic thanks to smooth design, aiding performance and welfare outcomes.
- Suitable for Australian outdoor farming: built for durability in tough environments and designed to support modern large-litter genetics.
