Producers in wean-to-finish hog facilities utilize pig mats on top of their cement slats to reduce drafts on little pigs and as a feeding platform to hand feed pigs following weaning to encourage feed intake. Double L’s 4872 Wean-to-Finish Pig Mat helps improve your pigs comfort, environment, health, and productivity by keeping nursery pigs warm and dry while avoiding diseases, all of which helps to get your pigs off to a fast start. The 4′ x 6′ Welcome Mats have a unique design that allows the nursery pigs to lay on the elevated surface and stay dry, helping to insulate the little pigs from cold weather drafts and the cold concrete slats.
Feeding newly weaned pigs on Double L’s 4′ x 6′ Wean-to-Finish Pig Welcome Mat is an important step in maximizing feed intake and early growth performance. Creep feed stays in the 1/8″ deep oval indentations and keeps the little pigs from moving it around, helping to reduce expensive creep feed waste. Each 4872 Welcome Mat with Feed Lip and Handles has a 1 ¼” raised feed lip height that keeps creep feed on the mats and reduces the amount of creep feed that passes through the concrete slats. This is a big advantage over smooth or biodegradable hog boards. Easier to handle than rubber mats, Double L polyethylene 4′ x 6′ Pig Mats have handles and are lightweight for ease of carrying, transport, and storage. Each mat accommodates approximately 50 pigs. For increased biosecurity measures, Double L’s 4′ x 6′ Hog Mat is easily pressure washed clean.
