Ungulate Barn Flooring Workshop

Why do we care about the type of flooring we use? The reason is simple, we work with terrestrial animals … they live with their feet on the ground. They also lie on the ground, eat off the ground; the first contact they have with the outside world after birth is an impact with the ground. The surface on which our animals spend time on effects their physiological and psychological well-being. The hoof is greatly affected by the surface it walks on, and badly cared for feet can lead to infections, changes in gait, changes in bone and joint health, can cause acute or chronic pain andaffect the good welfare we are trying to provide the animals we care for.
