Nesting is an instinctive behavior where sows create safe, warm spaces for their piglets. Traditional materials like straw often bring bacteria, block drainage, and increase cleaning labor. Deprived nesting leads to stressed sows, prolonged labor, and higher piglet mortality. Research shows that proper nesting materials can reduce farrowing time by up to 30%. They also improve piglet survival by minimizing stress-related issues. BirthCare sheets offer a perfect blend of nature and modern farming needs—helping sows express their natural behavior while keeping your farrowing pens cleaner and more efficient.
Why Choose BirthCare Burlap and Jute Nesting Sheets?
Our sheets are purpose-designed with the modern pig farmer in mind:
Uncompromising Hygiene: Though untreated, our jute is naturally resistant to germs. This creates a cleaner nesting environment compared to conventional materials.
Eco-Friendly and Biodegradable: Made from 100% natural, compostable jute and burlap fibers, supporting sustainable farming practices.
Robust & Reliable: Heavy-duty 240 g/m² construction withstands sow activity while remaining pliable for nest-building.
Universal Fit & Custom Sizes: Standard 160 x 60 cm sheets fit most farrowing pens. Custom sizes are available upon request, tailored to your farm needs.
Real-World Impact: Healthier Herds, Happier Farmers
Farmers using BirthCare sheets report notable improvements. These include nearly a 20% reduction in piglet losses, shorter labor times, and less slurry clogging. These benefits lead to better sow recovery, higher piglet survival, and lower veterinary costs. This translates into earlier returns and peace of mind.
Easy Integration into Your Farm
Integrating BirthCare sheets into your farm is simple. Attach a BirthCare sheet inside the farrowing crate 24-48 hours before farrowing. Allow sows to manipulate the burlap or jute to build nests naturally. After farrowing, replace sheets regularly and compost used ones for eco-friendly disposal. Pair BirthCare sheets with our premium farrowing crates and feeding systems for maximum benefits.

The Importance of Proper Nesting Materials
Proper nesting materials are crucial for the health and well-being of both sows and their piglets. When sows have access to suitable materials, they can create a comfortable environment for their young. This not only fosters a sense of security for the piglets but also reduces stress for the mother. Stress in sows can lead to complications during farrowing, which can affect the survival rates of piglets. By choosing the right nesting materials, farmers can enhance the overall health of their herd.
Enhancing Piglet Survival Rates
One of the most significant benefits of using BirthCare sheets is the enhancement of piglet survival rates. Research indicates that sows that are provided with appropriate nesting materials tend to have healthier piglets. The reduction in stress levels contributes to better outcomes during and after birth. This means that farmers can expect a higher number of viable piglets, which directly impacts their bottom line.
