It always seems to be a topic for debate amongst farmers whether concrete slats or rubber mats laid over these concrete slats are the best option to aid animal performance at housing.
The cost is another factor that plays a role in this decision. Essentially, farmers want to know what method of mat is going to provide them with the best value for money.
In recent times, concerns have been raised by EU and UK retailers on the welfare of animals being housed on concrete slatted housing.
This has been supported by the EU and international health and welfare advisory bodies proposing a potential phasing out in the use of concrete slats alone.
