Why use rubber mats in pig pens?

Floors are often slippery and hard in farrowing barns.

Sows get up less often for fear of slipping. This leads to poorer feeding and water intake, increases the risk of MMA (Mastitis, Metritis and Agalactia syndrome) and breeding performance deteriorates. Excessive lying without changing position promotes the development of shoulder ulcers. Inflammation and pain reduce the performance of sows. In addition, there is an increased crushing mortality rate.

Rubber comfort mats improve health and well-being

They provide sows with increased lying comfort and better thermal insulation. This reduces the number of injuries and animal losses.

Our PORCA rubber mats can reduce teat and shoulder injuries among sows significantly during the suckling period.

Less teat injuries

Sows on rubber mats also experience fewer teat injuries than those lying on plastic and cast grids.
