Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pig farming technology, and in particular to a positioning pen for pig farming. Background Technology

[0002] A gestation crate is a pen that confines pigs to a specific area of ​​activity. It is mainly used for the feeding and management of sows. By restricting the pigs' movement, gestation crates can ensure that sows receive proper care during pregnancy, farrowing, and lactation, while also helping to improve feed utilization and the growth rate of the pigs.

[0003] In actual use, when pigs are in the existing gestation crates, their excrement slides down the manure discharge plate and falls out through the discharge holes on the plate. However, this excrement often requires workers to use tools to clean it up, which is quite troublesome. Therefore, a new gestation crate for pig farming has been proposed to solve the above problems.
