Hog Package Includes:

There are several items to make for great farrow to finish operation. One such item is flooring.
Tenderfoot Floors create a more profitable environment.
Primary Features of Tenderfoot Flooring

  • Reduced Knee & Leg Abrasions
    Tenderfoot’s friendly surface is kind to the sensitive skin of young piglets. No rough or sharp edges to cause injuries and open the door for infection. Research farm tests showed abrasions on 45% of the pigs farrowed on wire mesh, none with Tenderfoot.
  • Reduced Incidence of Spraddle Legs
    Tenderfoot provides superior traction for newborn piglets getting their first grip on life. The small openings prevent entrapment and leg injury, yet provide the traction necessary to reduce spraddle legs and sprains, to avoid crushing by the sow, and to properly massage the udder during nursing for maximum milk let-down.
  • Reduced Underline Problems (Teat Necosis)
    Rough abrasive floors, or hard floors with sharp edges, can wear off or damage the nipples of nursing sows. Tenderfoot’s soft, smooth, rounded surface helps prevent underline injury to both sows and piglets.
  • Reduced Room Noise Levels
    Hard floors create harsh sounds. The din created by animal movement on metal floors is particularly upsetting in a confined environment. Tenderfoot’s coated, cushioned floor means quieter movement, better sound absorption and a more stress-free environment.
  • Insulated Surface Controls Heat Loss
    Plastisol coating is a superb insulator. The comfort provided by this aspect of Tenderfoot is in stark contrast to the ice-cold conditions that can exist with metal floors. Warm lining conditions allow pigs to direct feed energy to weight gain by reducing the energy needed to maintain body temperature.
  • Strong But Soft Coating, Extended Life
    In many installations Tenderfoot has lasted substantially longer than other flooring systems. In some cases it has outlasted other flooring, such as wire, by factor of 3! Many producers have found Tenderfoot to be not only the best system for their livestock, but also the least expensive when its extended life is considered.
As with other areas of agriculture there are many choices. Here is another flooring option…
Bigfoot TM Heavy Duty
Finishing, Gestation, General Heavy Duty Floors
A Step Up From Standard
Bigfoot flooring is a heavy duty version of Standard Tenderfoot flooring. Heavy 6 gauge expanded steel is used as the foundation.Exclusive storing-but-soft Tenderfoot plastisol is applied to the pre-treated steel to create this extremely durable flooring.Longevity
Bigfoot flooring, along with other Tenderfoot floors, is designed to last. Alternative flooring systems may present problems in a relatively short period of time. Your can depend on Bigfoot to stand up under the most abusive conditions. It will virtually last for years. Bigfoot flooring is covered by the Tenderfoot 10-year limited warranty.

Strong Enough For Large Animals
Bigfoot flooring is designed for finishing and gestation. Sanitation and warmth are recognized as crucial elements in the development of live animals. Bigfoot flooring makes it possible for you to provide these elements to your herd… from start to finish.

Hole Sizes
Classified as 1-1/2″ mesh, Bigfoot flooring provides substantial openings through which waste will pass. Actual hole sizes after coating are 1-1/2″ X 3/4″.

Available Sizes
4’x4′
