It is
estimated that an average of 2 piglets per litter are lost during the period
from birth through weaning(farrowing) due to chilling, crushing, disease
and starvation. Hog Helper Rubber Mats keep your facility or crates warm,
dry, safe and clean.

Absorb
and retain heat
When
used on raised or slatted floor systems, or in crates, these
natural rubber mats absorb and retain heat (as well as heat from
over-head spot heaters and other artificial heating sources)
to keep your litter warm and dry from farrowing through finishing.
In many cases, you can reduce the heater size or lower the temperature
for greater efficiency and lower bills.
Eliminate
drafts
Hog
Helper Mats insulate slatted floors, eliminating chilling drafts,
resulting in a warm surface that provides better creep comfort,
attracting piglets to sleep away from the sow and greatly reducing
crush kill. Using a double layer of mats in the center position
raises the sow for easier access to teats for nursing.
Improved
footing and safety
The
low profile traction surface of Hog Helper Mats provides improved
animal footing and safety, reducing sprattle leg and knee abrasion
problems, enabling piglets and sows to move about easily and
comfortably.
Easily installed over any existing surface, these non-porous
natural rubber mats won’t absorb or retain moisture or
urine, clean quickly, are easily disinfected, and won’t
harbor disease. The underside has a hollowed recess panel for
faster draining and to promote better air flow for ventilation. |

Specially
designed for finishing and breeding areas, Multi-Mats have a circular-patterned
top surface to combine sure footing traction with flow-through drainage.
Nubs on the underside secure the mats in place, while raising them
to allow fluids to drain areas and provide air circulation. These are
ideal for liquid manure recovery systems. |
