OverviewThe Pro Dromi® Classic is a piglet microclimate nest ('the Nanny') designed for free-farrowing pens. It creates an enclosed 32 °C microclimate for piglets using a waterbed floor while allowing barn temperature to be maintained around 18 °C for sows, reducing risk of crushing and improving piglet survival and growth.
Reasons to believe- Developed with Wageningen University and validated in trials showing piglets up to 500 g heavier
- Co-developed with 14 pig farmers for practical daily management
- Enclosed, draught-free microclimate supports reduced piglet mortality
How we ensure happy and healthy piglets- Seamless Nanny with waterbed floor provides uniform, draught-free heating to meet piglets' thermal preference
- Pro Grip flooring offers improved traction for sows and piglets and features a patented teardrop profile for easy cleaning
- Positioning at the walkway with LED lighting improves visibility for inspections
- Patented automated Easy Catch enables rapid confinement of piglets for treatment or handling
- Design allows the sow to rest her head near piglets while keeping them protected from crushing, aiding sow relaxation
