Swine Rubber Mats

Bedding mats for pigs are a type of specialized substrate made from high-quality materials that provide animals with proper living conditions, simultaneously influencing their health, welfare, and breeding performance. The product ensures optimal cushioning and thermal insulation, offering an innovative alternative to traditional flooring systems, enhancing animal comfort, and improving sanitary conditions in the barns. Their main purpose is to protect animals from mechanical injuries and reduce moisture and contaminants in the farming environment.

The rubber used to make rubber mats for pigs does not react with any of the factors present in breeding conditions. Its structure also prevents the nesting of bacteria and parasites, is hypoallergenic, and safe for animals. Rubber mats for pigs have a grooved surface that acts as anti-slip, minimizing the risk of injuries, which is crucial for heavier animals. Rubber mats for pigs are non-absorbent and chemically neutral.

Let's take a closer look at their key properties, here they are:

• Shock absorption and injury reduction - the material's flexibility prevents the formation of dents, pressure sores, and limb damage, especially for sows and fattening pigs
• Thermal insulation - the mats effectively protect against cooling in winter and overheating in summer, which is crucial for animal welfare
• Moisture and chemical resistance - modern mats are waterproof and resistant to cleaning agents, making maintenance easier and ensuring hygienic conditions in the barn
• Anti-slip surface - prevents falls and injuries, especially in intensive use in farrowing rooms and nurseries
• Longevity - made of durable materials, the mats are highly resistant to wear and intense use, resulting in a long lifespan

In large pig farms, it is essential to ensure smooth internal transportation. Driveways for mechanical vehicles should be frequently washed and cleaned. The best solution is to use mats for pig farms to cover the floor. Rubber does not absorb water, is easy to maintain and clean. Pig farm mats also include disinfectant mats placed at the entrance to the building. They allow for disinfecting tires, thus protecting the herd from diseases and preventing their spread outside.

Bedding mats are commonly used in various sectors of pig farming, including:

• in farrowing crates - providing comfort to sows and piglets, reducing the risk of crushing
• in finishing sectors - minimizing the risk of limb injuries and improving hygiene conditions
• in weaner pens - providing warm and dry bedding, supporting the development of young animals
• at sow stations in group housing systems - reducing thermal stress and improving resting conditions

Just like in single boxes, the most suitable for use in the area designated for pig resting are ready-made nest mats, in group boxes, where a larger number of animals are kept, nest mats in rolls prove to be the most convenient to use. These linings have the same characteristics, with the advantage of being able to be individually adjusted to the size of the nest. Nest mats in rolls have anti-slip properties, they are also soft and flexible, which increases the comfort of animal rest.

Investing in farrowing mats brings tangible benefits for both animals and farmers. It primarily improves the welfare of pigs, resulting in better production outcomes. Proper flooring reduces stress and minimizes the risk of injuries, impacting the health and comfort of the animals. The reduction in injuries and infections means lower expenses on treatments, thus reducing veterinary costs. Sows raised on appropriately selected farrowing mats exhibit higher productivity as comfortable conditions support lactation and proper piglet development. Furthermore, using mats aids in maintaining cleanliness in livestock buildings. Their surface is resistant to moisture and easy to clean, limiting the growth of pathogenic microorganisms. The absence of bedding reduces dust levels and the risk of infections, leading to better sanitary conditions and a healthier farming environment.
