Where they go
Common applications.
From a 100-cow dairy passage retro-fit to a 400-head fully-slatted beef finishing shed, the slat is the same technology — sized to span, loading and slot for the stock that lives on it.
- · Dairy cubicle passages over slurry channels
- · Fully-slatted beef finishing sheds
- · Suckler cow housing on steel-frame buildings
- · Calf rearing units for groups over 3 months old
- · AD digester yard slats over feedstock pits
- · Cubicle cross-passages and feed-passage gangways
- · Retro-fits where existing slats have failed lameness checks
