LIVESTOCK EQUIPMENT FLOOR PANEL WITH RIMMED APERTURES

摘要

A floor panel for livestock equipment features a sheet having a topside for traversal of animals thereover, and an underside lying in opposed relation to said underside. The sheet has a plurality of rimmed apertures penetrating the thickness thereof so that each aperture opens through both the topside and underside of the sheet. The apertures are distributed in spaced apart fashion from one another over a surface area of said sheet, and are each surrounded by a respective non-planar rim of raised elevation relative to a surrounding planar region of the sheet's topside. The rimmed apertures enable drainage through the floor panel while providing foot traction for the animals during traversal thereof over the floor panel.
