Poultry Slatted Floor System
Poultry Slatted Floor System for Chicken House
Sheedoz plastic slatted floor system is made of high-strength, wear-resistant polypropylene, the poultry plastic flooring is designed for cage free chicken farm to replace wood floors in poultry house. Plastic poultry flooring system can separate poultry and manure, thereby inhibiting bacterial reproduction and growth. In addition, it has a longer service life than wood, is moisture-proof and easier to clean, and can reduce poultry foot pads and leg problems.
In some countries, due to the legal protection of animal welfare, the use of battery cage system is banned. Therefore, the plastic slatted floor system is a compromise cage free solution, which allows poultry to move freely in the poultry house without being restricted by cages.
Different types of Poultry Slatted Floor System
Slatted floor system in poultry mainly refers to the method of keeping chickens off the ground and raising them on meshes made of plastic. In order to facilitate management and the cleaning of chicken manure, there will be a certain distance between the slat floor and the ground.
Advantages of Sheedoz’s Slat Floor
1. In Line with Global Trends
With the European Union set to fully ban caged animals by 2027, cage-free systems—especially plastic slatted flooring—are becoming the mainstream choice worldwide. This system offers strong market prospects and long-term development potential.
2. Improved Hygiene & Disease Control
Chicken manure falls directly below the slatted floor, preventing birds from contacting waste.
This greatly reduces disease transmission and helps control common poultry diseases such as coccidiosis, colibacillosis, chronic respiratory disease, fowl cholera, and ascites.
Cleaner floors also help avoid egg contamination, improving overall product quality.
3. Higher Stocking Density
On average, 1 square meter can accommodate 4.8 chickens, supporting efficient space utilization while maintaining good welfare conditions.
4. Cost-Effective & Waste Recyclable
Compared with traditional cages:
The overall cost is lower.
Chicken manure can be collected and recycled, increasing income and reducing waste treatment costs.
5. Enhanced Bird Welfare & Performance
The plastic slatted floors have a smooth, burr-free surface, providing excellent support for poultry feet and reducing leg and foot diseases.
Birds enjoy more freedom of movement, which contributes to better laying performance and lower stress levels.
6. Easier Management
Since most daily operations—feeding, inspection, egg collection—are performed in the corridor, labor intensity is reduced, and stress to chickens is minimized.
Temperature and humidity control, as well as ventilation, are easier to manage, helping further increase stocking density.
7. Fast Installation & Flexible Adjustability
The flooring system is easy to install and maintain.
Adjustable supporting legs ensure a perfectly level floor even on uneven ground.
Leg height range: 400–500 mm (can be customized).
8. Durable & Reliable Materials
The slatted floor is made of high-impact polypropylene, featuring strong impact resistance and excellent abrasion resistance.
Reinforced, anti-aging PVC beams are rust-proof, corrosion-resistant, and built for long service life.
9. Wide Application Range
Available in multiple sizes and configurations suitable for:
Laying hens
Broilers
Chicks
Ducks
Geese
And other poultry species

Improved Hygiene and Disease Control
One of the primary advantages of using a slatted floor system is its contribution to improved hygiene and disease control. The design of the slats allows droppings to pass through, preventing direct contact between the birds and their waste. This reduces the risk of bacterial and parasitic infections, resulting in healthier birds.
Better Manure Management
Slatted floors facilitate efficient manure management. The droppings that fall through the slats can be collected in a pit or a manure removal system. This makes it easier to remove and dispose of the waste, reducing the risk of bacterial contamination in the poultry house. Proper manure management also prevents ammonia build-up, creating a healthier environment for the birds.
Enhanced Air Quality
By allowing droppings to fall through the slats, the slatted floor system in poultry helps maintain better air quality within the poultry house. The reduced contact between the birds and their waste minimizes ammonia emissions, which can have detrimental effects on respiratory health. Improved air quality translates to healthier birds and improved overall productivity.
Reduced Footpad Lesions
Conventional flooring systems, such as solid concrete, can lead to footpad lesions in poultry due to prolonged exposure to wet litter. Slatted floors, on the other hand, allow droppings to pass through, keeping the surface drier and reducing the risk of footpad problems. This leads to better foot health and improved welfare for the birds.
