A MAT FOR ANIMALS

摘要

A mat for an animal, particularly a female mammal such as a sow comprises a main body (3) provided with a ridge (5') adapted for a sow to lie along one side thereof so that the sow's udder rests on the ridge and thus is made more accessible to piglets. The ridge (5') preferably extends along a central longitudinal axis of the mat and optionally includes a bacteriocidal agent.
