The floor tile 1 has a rectangular body 3 with a pair of rows 7(a), 7(b) of drainage holes 5 therein. The floor tile 1 further comprises a plurality of floor engaging plugs 9 arranged in a pair of rows coincident with the rows of drainage holes. The plugs 9 engage a pair of laterally spaced apart adjacent elongate apertures in a floor of an animal housing. The rows of drainage holes line up with drainage holes in the floor of the animal housing. The floor engaging plugs may be provided with an internal bore 17 and a plurality of ribs 47 and may be dimensioned to be push-fit into the elongate apertures in the floor. The top surface of the tiles may have a central portion between the two rows of drainage holes which may be triangular in cross section.
