Organic and sustainable: made from 100% biodegradable and environmentally friendly jute. The fibre-rich material can be reshaped, moved around and explored, offering pigs a natural form of enrichment.

Robust and tear-resistant: the robust fabric is edged with a tear-resistant Herakles seam. This makes the jute sack suitable for use even with strong sows.

Enrichment material: the robust jute fibres encourage pigs to nibble, tug, move and explore. This supports their natural exploratory behaviour and provides additional variety in their housing environment.

Nest-building material: shortly before farrowing, the sow can use the jute sack as a natural nesting material to satisfy her instinct to build a nest. The soft texture also provides a suitable lying surface for piglets.

Legal requirements: the use of jute cloths can help to meet the requirements for enrichment materials set out in the Animal Welfare in Livestock Farming Ordinance (TierSchNutztV) and the Animal Welfare Initiative (ITW).
