Abstract
Concrete gang slats, that underlie and support thereon farrowing crates within a farrowing house, are provided with opposing elongate side openings in which elongate foraminous inserts are positioned to accommodate newborn pigs thereon in the overlying side pens of the respective farrowing crates. The foraminous inserts are constructed to facilitate the footing of newborn pigs in suckling so as to avoid abrasion of their knees while permitting their waste to readily pass through the inserts.
