At Agri-Plastics, our motto, “We Don’t Cut Corners,” isn’t just a saying—it’s our approach to designing and producing the most reliable, comfortable, and durable calf housing solutions available. When it comes to our wide body hutches and indoor pens, we take a holistic view, ensuring every feature enhances calf welfare and growth while making caregiving simpler and more efficient.
A Design Built Around Space and Comfort
One of the most distinctive elements of our Wide Body Hutches is the spacious, rectangular design. Unlike other hutches on the market with triangular or sloped sides, our rectangular structure provides both calves and caregivers with the room they need. Calves benefit from the added upper-body movement space, which is crucial for their natural behaviors, and caregivers have easier access when they’re in the pen with the calves.
Wide Body Hutches create an environment that fosters improved calf interaction by accommodating shoulder and head height. Calves can turn around more easily, making them feel less confined, which directly impacts their comfort and welfare. This extra space is particularly beneficial for farm personnel who need to move around freely while tending to calves. The structure promotes not only healthier calf development but also efficient care routines, reinforcing our commitment to high welfare standards for both calves and caregivers.
Stronger, More Durable Design for Longevity
At Agri-Plastics, we manufacture our calf housing from high-grade, color-compounded plastic, setting the industry standard for durability and longevity. This choice of materials makes our hutches and pens exceptionally resilient, ensuring that they can withstand the daily demands of farming and provide a safe, comfortable home for your calves for years. Our commitment to strength means that our hutches not only meet but exceed industry expectations, offering farmers a robust and reliable solution that supports calves through their critical early stages of development.
Comprehensive Features for Optimal Health and Growth
In designing our Wide Body Environment, we don’t skimp on the essentials. Each calf hutch comes standard with a suite of high-quality features designed to create the optimal environment for calf health. For instance, our Bottom Air Flow Vents promote proper ventilation, reducing moisture buildup and ensuring a dry, healthy space for calves. The Adjustable Top Roof Vent further enhances air quality by allowing caregivers to control airflow, minimizing the risk of respiratory issues common in damp or poorly ventilated spaces.
The All-in-1 Rear Door is a standout feature, combining multiple functions into a single component that’s easy to use and tailored to enhance calf welfare. This rear door supports feeding, bedding, and ventilation, allowing for efficient management without compromising on any area of calf care. Additionally, the rear door is equipped with a rain shield, and the top vent is thoughtfully designed to prevent rain entry. By keeping calves dry, our hutches reduce the risk of illness caused by wet, cold conditions.
Wider Indoor Calf Pens and Hutches for Maximum Comfort
Our commitment to calf comfort continues indoors with our wider calf raising pens, which have 48-inch centers—larger than the standard 46 inches. Our hutches feature straighter sidewalls, which reduce the taper effect, giving calves additional room to move and rest comfortably. Whether you choose pens or hutches, the added space supports healthier growth and less stress, creating a beneficial environment from the very beginning of their lives.
At Agri-Plastics, we don’t compromise on calf comfort or care. Every detail in our Wide Body Environment is meticulously crafted to meet the high standards we set for ourselves and to provide farmers with the best possible tools for raising healthy, thriving calves. When you choose our Wide Body Hutches and indoor pens, you’re not just investing in a product; you’re choosing a commitment to quality, durability, and the welfare of your calves.
