Abstract: Stable (1) comprising a collection chamber (6) with a bottom (7) below a stable grid. The bottom (7) is covered by a bottom plate (9) formed by parallel V-shaped gutters (10). The walls of the gutters (10) form an angle with the horizontal, which is between 45 degees and 80 degees. At the underside the gutters (10) have a radius of 7 to 12 cm. Method for flushing a stable, manure being collected in V-shaped gutters (10), after which the bottom is flushed. The manure is discharged to a storage facility. After a certain settling time the manure has separated into a thick fraction and a thin fraction. The in fraction is drawn off and is used to flush the bottom plate clean. A layer of the thin fraction remains standing on the bottom plate (9), so that the manure is collected therein.
