ABSTRACT:
A reinforced concrete gang slat, for use as a section of the flooring of an animal shelter, such as a farrowing house for swine, wherein the gang slat is adapted to support thereon a farrowing crate confining a sow therein, and wherein the gang slat is provided with an opening in a rear portion thereof which underlies the rear portion of the farrowing crate and the sow therein and has a grate positioned therein, with the openings in the grate being sufficiently small so as to permit a litter of pigs to be born thereon and to walk thereon without injury as by their feet being caught in the openings of the grate, and wherein the openings in the grate are of sufficient size for readily permitting the sow's and the newborn pigs waste to pass therethrough.
