Concrete Best Material for a Feeding Floor
Town State College farm management specialists and agricultural engineers favor concrete for feeding floors to save feed and labor. Concrete floors are easier to clean and sanitary. Harold Beaty of Iowa State College Extension notes location near feed and water, access from pastures and barns, and protection from cold winds. A southern exposure helps prevent ice and snow. Drainage is essential. on sloping ground natural drainage may suffice, otherwise 6 to 8 inches crushed gravel under the concrete. Floor thickness ranges from 4 to 6 inches depending on traffic. area size depends on troughs and stock. Typical allocations: 15 sq ft per hog, 40 sq ft per cattle head. Construction should be counted within a $1000 total farm project limit.
