Patent

CA 2578619

The number of piglets dying at birth is reduced by providing a motion or weight or temperature sensor in a farrowing crate at the piglet area thereof so that, when the sow is expected to give birth, the sensor is located in the crate at a location to detect the presence of one or more piglets after birth and, on detection of the one or more piglets, causing the sensor to communicate a signal to a pager carried by an operator indicating to the operator that birth of piglets is in progress and to activate a heating area for the piglets in the pen to attract them away from the area of the sow to reduce crushing.
