I have baby pigs for sale. Shots and wormed. Ready to go. They are York shire cross. I am in Lisman Alabama.

I am looking at ways to prevent crushing deaths of piglets without using a crush.  I have read a lot about various pens, with sloping walls, bars round the walls etc, to give the piglets somewhere to escape, but from the research I have read, they seem to only slightly reduce the death rate from crushing.  

I did read this comment on one website though:

" The best way to prevent the piglets being laid on, is by a combination of monitoring and removing the piglets to a heated box when no-one is in attendance, an old tried and trusted method rarely used in today's busy commercial piggeries, but still popular with smallholders. By day five, the piglets are old enough to keep clear of the sow. "

I was wondering if anyone has ever used this method.  If so, how often would you feed them, and for how long?

I have ferring stalls. The pigs stay on one or the other side. The mms is in the middle.
