Description: Piglet leg abrasions were reduced by using strips of 6 mm-thick, polyester pile, latex-backed material as a floor overlay in the suckling areas of the farrowing pen. Carpel joint injuries in 20 litters offered the overlay were significantly lower (P <0.00 I) than in 20 litters with no overlay on a mostly concrete floor (mean injury score 9.5 vs. 93.4, respectively). While seeming to offer only a small improvement in floor resilience, the overlay greatly reduced knee abrasion injuries on piglets.
