SOLUTION: This floor mat has a hard cotton layer having 60-98 surface hardness measured with an F type hardness tester and antifungal and/or antimicrobial properties and containing 20-60 wt.% of heat bonding fibers and has <=120s water permeability. The mat for livestock is preferably reinforced by holding base fabrics among the plural hard cotton layers and further preferably provided with a mat cover of a woven or a knitted fabric having the antifungal and/or antimicrobial properties.
