Asylum for pigs in need

Is it a shelter, a home for animals or an educational asylum farm? All of this is Azyl Štětinka. This project was launched in order to create a space for rescued piglets from unsuitable conditions. We want to give these animals a safe home for the rest of their lives. Also to allow the public (families, children, seniors, students, companies or people who want to do teambuilding) to see the real life of animals in our educational farm, where these creatures are treated with respect and love.

Your donations will help to build a barn and fence around the pastures for the pigs

Inspiration: Woodstock Farm Sanctuary.

Nap Barn

Piglets need a safe and dry place where to take nap and sleep. A place where to hide from wind, rain, sun or snow. Adult piglets have no problem with cold weather but hot weather, that's a different story. Pigs need to have a place to lie down and what will protect them from draft.

A barn appears to be an ideal building. We love practical things, but also things that last long enough. Therefore we choose the path of simplicity but functionality.

The barn must have the possibility of natural air ventilation and, at the same time, of the possibility for the pigglets to warm up their bodies in it. That's why we count on luxurious soft bedding (hay, straw, blankets).

Solid wood on the outside, impregnated OSB boards will suffice on the inside. With such a floor that can be easily cleaned, disinfected, simply cleaned.

A few windows for lighting and ventilation of the room, as I already mentioned.

Create a space above the sleeping area at the attic where hay, straw or other properties related to the asylum can be stored.

Building laws set by the authorities are strict to limit of the size of a farm building - meaning a piggery - allow us a maximum area of ​​20x20m. If the building laws and decrees do not change after the new year, we will start construction based on this regulation.


Enclosures to keep the naughty little curious snouts safely home

To make sure pigs won't be running around the Třemošnice village, where we want to buy a part of land, We have to keep all bristles safely on our property and build a sturdy fence. Although the piglets will roam freely in the pastures, we must protect them from the outside world.

Small sized pig weighing 90 kg cannot overcome a fence made of pallets, but we are talking about a piggy of mass between 100 and 200 kg that will pass through the fence like a hammer. And believe me or not, when such a tank want to go, it just goes.

We want to make an outdoor fence of high quality to keep inside even large and heavy breeds of pigs. The inner enclosures can be made from pallets - depending on the breeds.
Welcomed donation or a gift is construction material as solid wood boards, pallets, mesh, fence parts, metal rods, etc... Many people have “treasures” at home that they no longer use, and we will use such items for construction. We love to recycle and re-use things. We also assume that, if it is possible to get a part of things second-hand, we will use it.

Thank you for your support.Without people like you our asylum farm would not be possible to exist. Thank you for caring about the piggies and for being with us since the beginning of our journey. We greatly appreciate your trust.

Thank you very much
