ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for housing poultry to be fattened includes a grate-shaped animal conveyor supporting floor 21 which is contained within a housing enclosure. The floor is formed by a plurality of intersecting supporting profiles 33, each made from a soft, elastic material which is arranged so that it provides a plurality of openings 34 in the floor through which poultry droppings may pass. A plurality of soft, elastic coverings 40 are formed in a region above the supporting members 38 that are used to support the floor, the elastic coverings 40 providing extremely soft and yielding raised surfaces against which the poultry can lean, sit, or stand.
