Mat Placement:

• Place one mat under pen divider and pull to back of crate
• Center the heat lamp over the mat
• Adjust heat lamp to keep mat at 90° F
• Ensure that sows or gilts cannot reach mat or they could chew on it and decrease the life of the mat
• Place mats for gilts and P1's just prior to farrowing to prevent chewing
• Mats can be used alone or can be placed over the top of another mat especially in the event of scouring piglets.

• Mat will last approximately 7-21 days
• Healthy pigs are more active and the mat will last approximately 7-10 days. A new mat is not necessary after that.
• Challenged Pigs may have mats that last up to 21 days as they are not as active.

• Used mats are an excellent source of feedback material when torn into small, hand-sized pieces and mixed into your feedback material
• Old, used mats are biodegradable and may be added to your compost pile.
