Concrete-floored run pens feature continuously solid floors without gaps. This design allows for easy cleaning and provides a non-slip, even walking surface for the animals. These barns are commonly used in dairy and fattening operations to ensure optimal hygienic conditions.
In slatted floor barns, the floors have narrow slits through which the manure falls directly into a pit below. This design reduces direct contact of the animals with excrement and facilitates cleaning.
Step manure barns use a sloped lying surface, from which manure is pushed down to the lower feeding aisle by the animals stepping on it. This creates a natural separation between the lying and feeding areas, while the manure continuously shifts and can be regularly removed.
In tie stalls, the cattle are fastened to fixed spots, which requires a special manure disposal method. The manure falls directly behind the animals into channels or pits and needs to be regularly removed.
