Frequently Asked Questions on Concrete Grooving
What is slat grooving?
Slat grooving involves carving grooves into concrete slats on the floor of a cattle shed to improve traction and prevent slips and falls.
What are the benefits of slat grooving concrete for cattle sheds?
Slat grooving concrete in cattle sheds enhances traction, preventing slips and injuries and providing a more comfortable footing for cattle. This can reduce stress among the cattle, potentially increasing their productivity. Additionally, these durable grooves may contribute to better waste management. The benefits are maximized when the grooving is tailored to your cattle’s specific needs.

How often do grooves need to be refreshed or redone?
The durability of the grooves depends on several factors, including the quality of the concrete, the amount of traffic, and how well the surface is maintained. However, under typical conditions, grooves may last several years before needing to be redone.
Does concrete grooving improve productivity?
While concrete grooving primarily enhances safety by reducing slips and falls, it can indirectly improve productivity. Cows that feel secure in their footing may move more freely and quickly, possibly leading to increased milk production and better overall health.
