Slatted Floor Systems

Slatted Floor System is a type of raised flooring in swine housing, belonging to the broader category of manure management systems, that is distinguished by its construction of evenly spaced slats allowing excreta to fall directly through into a collection or storage area beneath, thereby enhancing hygiene and reducing labor for cleaning while maintaining animal access to a dry lying surface.
