1 to 2.5 piglets per sow per
year die by crushing. Save more than 50% of them by using THE
ANTI-CRUSH SYSTEM.
The anti-crusher is equipped with an
infrared sensor that detects when the sow sits or stands up (day or
night). The system creates a non-comfort zone, by blowing a gentle
air stream full range under the sow. Piglets will want to avoid it
and will move by themselves to the comfort zone by themselves
(towards the heat pad or heat lamp); away from the crushing
area.
One anti-crusher is needed per 20
sows on the first week after farrowing.
Made in Canada for S.E.C. Repro.
inc. by Prodexpert (patent pending).
Reduces crushed piglets Looks after piglets 24 hours/ day Washable and easy to install No tools needed for adjustment (plug & play) One-year warranty After sale services
Installation
Accessories
Install the ANTI-CRUSHER (BODYGUARD) in
the middle of the farrowing cage in the comfort zone side, at 9
from flooring the day before farrowing until the 5th day after
farrow. Then, move it to the next location by using the
ANTI-CRUSHER CART. Results show less than half the crushing
rate then without ANTI-CRUSHER.
It takes 10 seconds to take
off and 10 seconds to reinstall.

Then by Day 5-6, 80% of the piglets will have been
crushed. We suggest installing the anti-crusher the evening
before the farrowing until Day 5-6 then you can move it to
the next group. You will need the same number of machines for
the same number of farrowing per week. The results
demonstrate 50-70% decrease in crushing. It works 24 hours a
day.
