WELL-NEST Pigeon and Pigeon Cap

Maintaining the optimal temperature in the piglets' nests during the maternity period is crucial. This minimises the hypothermia of the piglets and the risk of loss of piglets. This phenomenon often contributes to the mortality of newborn piglets in the first few days of life. The VERBA piglets' hoods are specially designed to address this problem and to provide an excellent microclimate.

These functional VERBA piglets hoods are easy to install and adapt to the specific needs of different stalls. They not only provide protection against cold temperatures, but also help to stimulate the growth and vitality of piglets in the crucial first phase of life.

Thanks to the VERBA piglets nests, pig farmers can confidently optimize the maternity environment and maximise the health and survival of their newborn piglets.

The Verba Comfort piglets hood offers a smart solution to optimize the microclimate in your maternity ward. This durable piglets hood allows you to create a warm piglets' nest for your newborn piglets. In addition, you keep the room temperature for your sows at the desired level. This not only results in lower energy costs, but also promotes the feed intake of the sow.

The Verba Comfort pig cover is available in different versions and can be adapted to almost any size and configuration. You have the choice between UV-resistant transparent plastic or black HDPE plastic. The piglets cover has a front edge of 100 mm high. As a result, the warm air circulates effectively in the piglets' nest and is not lost.

This versatile piglets cap can hang freely above the heating plate, over the intermediate wall of two lofts, in the corner or along the length adjustment. Optionally, the Verba Comfort pig cover can be equipped with a 230 mm opening for a heating lamp, including a cover plate for this opening.

In our range of piglets hoods we also offer a transparent piglets cover variant that is extremely easy to fold. This allows you to temporarily close your piglets for inspection or other checks. Thanks to the transparent plate, the sow keeps an eye on its piglets at all times, which reassures it. The piglets themselves also remain calmer because they can see their mother and do not feel that they are closed.

This lockable piglets cap is equipped with a simple hinge that clamps over the partition wall, making it a standard piglets cap. If you want to fasten the piglets, simply lift the hinged lever and move the piglets cap forward. This serves as a transparent partition wall. It takes virtually no force to move the piglets cap. In addition, the closure is designed so that the strong stainless steel closure automatically moves over the partition wall when you fold the piglets cap back, saving extra work.

The piglets undercrumb is made of 2-sided UV-resistant transparent plate. On both sides the piglets undercrumb is equipped with a stainless steel protection strip with the unique and very strong VERBA bead bead. Standard, the piglets undercrumb has a depth of 500 mm and is suitable for a rear wall of 500 mm high and 35 mm thick. If your rear wall has different specifications, we can make it custom. The width of the piglets undercrumb can also be produced to your liking, which is ideal for renovations. The side walls can be provided by yourself or can be supplied by us, using 18 mm thick HDPE plates with stainless steel corner lines for both the back wall and the floor.

VERBA acted as a producer during the Pro-Dromi project from Wageningen University, a collaboration with a network of 14 sow farmers. One of the results of this project is the WELL-NEST piglets' cabin.

The piglets' cabin is equipped with a plastic rear wall and a piglets' entrance, which can be closed with a supplied slider. The fully transparent front wall is made of 6 mm thick Polycarbonate, lightweight and easy to remove. The lid remains open automatically when it is opened.
