Abstract
A farrowing hut structure of non-porous fiberglass material is pivotally connected at one of its ends to one end of a fiberglass floor for being pivoted between lowered and raised positions with the floor and interior of the hut structure being fully exposed to the sun and atmosphere when the hut is in its raised upended position. The hut is divided into a center sow section with pig sections on opposite sides and the floor includes heating elements embedded therein for heating the pig sections. An open top pen enclosure is connected to the hut enclosure at the end opposite the end pivotally connected to the floor. The pen floor and the hut structure in one embodiment is formed from fiber glass while in a second embodiment, the pen floor is concrete and is connected to a waste gutter which receives waste products from the hut structure and pen enclosure due to the hut structure and pen enclosure being placed on an incline sloping toward the waste gutter. A pig feeder may be placed on either end door in the center sow section or in the pig sections on an exterior wall in the proximity of a feed and pig access door for filling the feeder and removing pigs.
