ABSTRACT:
A pig feeding mat (10) is provided for use over a grated floor (12). The pig feeding mat (10) includes a rectangular surface (14) having first and second ends (16 and 18) and a perimeter (20). A rim (22) around the perimeter (20) restrains movement of solid material transversely over the perimeter (20). A plurality of spaced-apart gaps (24) in the rim (22) allow liquid to drain from the pig feeding mat (10). Paired lugs (26and 28, or 32 and 34) disposed at respective ends (16 and 18) of the mat (10) are used to position the mat (10) under a partition (50 or 52) of a feeding stall (44) by invertedly straddling the mat (10). The mat (10) can be cut along a joggled groove (40) to separate the rectangular surface (14) into first and second surface portions (36 and 38), to be used in separate feeding areas (64 and 66).
