Product overview
Choosing the right floor solution is essential for animal welfare and farm management. Floors for pig pens must provide a smooth but non-slip, rigid and stable surface adapted to the animals' size and weight. Where no bedding is used, the floor must prevent injuries and enable efficient slurry evacuation through slots.

Main properties

• Maintain pens clean and dry to reduce issues such as lameness, torn claws and abscesses.
• Corridor floor designed with nonslip surface for safe movement of animals and staff.

Available combinations

• Rotecna plastic floor combined with concrete slats (concrete slats mainly used in fattening for load-bearing capacity).
• Rotecna plastic floor combined with cast iron slats (can be positioned above a drain or to create an area of reduced comfort; liftable cast-iron slat available for pit access and cleaning).
• Rotecna plastic floor combined with galvanised bar slats for specific drainage and support requirements.

Advantages
Plastic floor

• Facilitates cleaning and sanitising; improves comfort for piglets; quick and easy assembly.
• Dries rapidly and is waterproof.
• Open area (~40%) promotes efficient slurry drainage.

Cast iron floor

• Creates zones of reduced comfort to discourage animals from lying in one place, lowering overlay risk.
• Liftable slat options enable straightforward access to the pit for cleaning.
• Simple to install and durable under heavy loads.
