This Part of BS 5502 gives recommendations on the design and construction of slatted, perforated and mesh floors used for the housing of cattle, pigs and sheep so as to provide self-cleaning by allowing animal waste to pass through the voids.

The recommendations are applicable specifically to the housing of:

  1. cattle (see notes 1 and 2);

  2. pigs (see notes 1 and 2);

  3. sheep (see notes 1 and 2).

NOTE 2 Flooring may not be suitable for certain types of stock, see 8.1, 9.1 and 10.1.
