Floor covering (I) for an animal house for beef animals and dairy animals comprises an elastomeric mat ( 2 ) which can be fixed to a floor or floor slat by screws ( 8 ). Rigid strips ( 6 ) are located at the base ( 7 ) of mat ( 2 ) for securing the screws ( 8 ) which are coverable by the mat when it is fixed to the slat. Mat ( 2 ) is designed for cleanliness and enhanced protection and comfort for animals. Flap valve ( 3 ) forms an openable flap valve along one longitudinal edge of the mat ( 2 ) to seal a gap between adjacent slats of a slatted floor to reduce the emission of gases and fumes emanating from a tank beneath the floor. The flap valve ( 3 ) allows waste material to pass through the slatted floor to the tank.
