Coated Piglet Slatted Floor | Nursery Flooring

The Coated Piglet Slatted Floor is a specialized nursery flooring system designed to provide recently weaned piglets with a comfortable, hygienic and durable walking and resting surface. The floor can be manufactured from woven wire or expanded metal covered with a high-quality protective coating.

Compared with bare metal flooring, the coated surface feels warmer and softer to young pigs while retaining the open structure required for manure and liquid drainage. The smooth coating also helps create an easy-to-clean livestock surface suitable for intensive commercial nursery barns.

Self-supporting slats, separate coated panels on steel frames, solid resting sections and integrated heating options can be configured according to piglet housing requirements, pen dimensions and farm management systems.

• Designed specifically for weaned piglets and nursery housing.
• Available with woven-wire or expanded-metal base construction.
• High-quality coating creates a warm and comfortable animal-contact surface.
• Open slatted structure supports efficient manure and liquid drainage.
• Self-supporting configurations simplify commercial floor installation.
• Custom dimensions can be produced according to project requirements.
• Optional solid lying areas provide additional resting comfort.
• Integrated floor heating is available upon request.
• Separate coated panels can be mounted onto supporting steel frames.
• Can be combined with other slat types to influence dunging and lying zones.
• Smooth coated surfaces support efficient washing and disinfection.
• Suitable for new nursery buildings and pig-house renovation projects.

• Metal Slat Base: Woven wire or expanded metal forms the structural core of the flooring.
• Protective Coating: Durable livestock-grade coating covers animal-contact surfaces for improved comfort and corrosion protection.
• Drainage Openings: Open sections allow manure, urine and spilled water to pass below the animal area.
• Perimeter Frame: Structural edge sections provide rigidity and support the slatted panel.
• Steel Support Frame: Optional frame supports separate coated panels in modular floor installations.
• Solid Floor Section: Optional closed area provides a more sheltered piglet lying zone.
• Heating System: Integrated heating can be incorporated into suitable solid areas.
• Mounting Components: Brackets and corrosion-resistant fasteners secure the floor to the supporting structure.

The coated metal surface supports piglets above the manure collection area while the openings allow waste and liquids to pass through the floor. This helps keep the animal zone relatively dry and reduces direct contact with manure.

The coating isolates the piglet from direct contact with bare metal and provides a softer, warmer-feeling surface. Self-supporting floor sections transfer loads to the surrounding structural frame or designated bearing points.

Where different functional zones are required, coated slats can be combined with solid heated sections or alternative slat designs to create separate lying and dunging areas within the nursery pen.

Installation:

• Confirm nursery pen dimensions, manure-pit layout and required floor zones.
• Check all bearing surfaces or supporting steel frames for correct level and alignment.
• Position self-supporting slats or coated floor panels according to the approved layout.
• Secure separate panels to the supporting frame with compatible mounting components.
• Install solid sections and heating systems where specified.
• Maintain correct alignment between coated and adjacent floor sections.
• Check all edges, joints and fasteners before pigs enter the pen.

Maintenance:

• Remove manure and organic deposits from drainage openings regularly.
• Wash and disinfect the floor between nursery batches.
• Use cleaning agents compatible with the protective coating.
• Inspect coating surfaces for abnormal wear or mechanical damage.
• Check structural frames, brackets and bearing points periodically.
• Inspect integrated heating components according to the heating-system maintenance schedule.
• Replace damaged flooring components before returning them to livestock use.

Q: What is a coated piglet slatted floor?
A: It is a metal-based livestock floor covered with a protective coating to create a warmer and softer animal-contact surface while maintaining effective manure drainage.

Q: What base materials can be used?
A: Commercial coated piglet slats can be produced from woven wire or expanded metal.

Q: Why is coated flooring suitable for recently weaned piglets?
A: The coated surface provides greater thermal and contact comfort than bare metal while retaining an open, hygienic floor structure.

Q: Can the floor be self-supporting?
A: Yes. Self-supporting configurations are available for suitable spans and structural layouts.

Q: Can dimensions be customized?
A: Yes. Floor dimensions can be produced according to pen size and project requirements.

Q: Can a solid area be incorporated?
A: Yes. A solid resting section can be integrated into compatible coated floor configurations.

Q: Can floor heating be integrated?
A: Yes. Selected solid areas can incorporate an integrated heating system to create a warmer piglet resting zone.

Q: Can coated slats be installed on a steel frame?
A: Yes. Separate coated panels can be supplied for installation on compatible steel supporting frames.

Q: What information is required for a quotation?
A: Please provide the number of nursery pens, floor dimensions, piglet weight range, preferred floor configuration, heating requirements, support structure, project location and available layout drawings.
