Hog Helper
Price range: $50.00 through $85.00
The Hog Helper Rubber Mats are specially designed for piglets, pigs and hogs and can be used in any stable or alleyway, both indoor and outdoor. The Hog Helper Rubber Mats enable a more productive, more efficient hog operation. They reduce the loss of piglets during the period from birth through weaning (farrowing), due to chilling, crushing, disease and starvation.
Improved footing and safety
With the low profile traction surface of the Hog Helper Rubber Mats, one provides improved animal footing and safety. This reduces spraddle leg and knee abrasions, which ultimately enables piglets and sows to move about easily and comfortably. The Rubber Mats are easy to install over any existing surface. Due to the use of natural rubber, the mats are non-porous, hence it will not absorb and retain moisture or urine. Other advantages: the mats are easily disinfected and will not harbor disease. The underside of the mats has a hollowed recess panel for faster draining and promotes better air flow for ventilation.

Absorb and retain heat
When used on raised and slatted floor systems or in crates, the Hog Helper Rubber Mats absorb and retain heat – as well as from overhead spot heaters and other artificial heating sources – to keep your litter warm and dry from farrowing through finishing. In many cases, you can reduce the heater size or lower the temperature for greater efficiency and smaller bills. This makes these natural rubber mats a cost effective solution.
Eliminate drafts
Hog Helper Rubber Mats insulate slatted floors, which eliminates chilling drafts, resulting in a warm surface that provides better creep comfort. This attracts piglets to sleep away from the sow and it greatly reduces crush kill. Using a double layer of rubber mats in the center position raises the sow for easier access to teats for nursing.
