TENDERFOOT™... The Ultimate
Self-Cleaning ... no holes or
crevices to harbor bacteria.
Durable “Komfy-Kote”
Construction.
• When placed over existing slats or on risers,
sections of Tenderfoot make a self cleaning
floor by providing smooth rounded openings
for manure to pass through before it can build
up, but without the danger of trapping a
piglet's foot
• It gives pigs a toe hold so they can dig in to massage udders vigorously, and
makes the sow more surefooted to avoid placing piglets in jeopardy Her udder
never touches a rough or cold surface, greatly reducing injuries and infection
COMPARE the advantages of Tenderfoot pads
with concrete, metal and wood flooring.

• Superior traction prevents
injuries and abrasions.

expanded metal core are covered with
plastisol, the floor is cushioned and insulated
to help prevent sore knees and leg abrasions
