Abstract: A slat cover for livestock flooring, particularly hog flooring, includes a base to overlie an individual slat of a floor of parallel individual slats, or a slat of a gang slat panel. Legs are joined to the base at the opposing sides of the base and terminate in an outwardly flared free edge. The legs are receivable in slots between individual slats or slots provided in a gang slat panel, the legs conforming to the corners of the slat and gripping the upper part of the opposing sidewalls of the slat. Traction bars or knobs or elastomeric strips are fixed to the upper surface of the base. A combination slat and alternate slat cover is also disclosed, the slat including a leg engaging region on each of its sidewalls. The alternate slat cover has a base with opposing downwardly extending legs which are integrally formed at a perpendicular to the base. Each leg includes a ridge to be received in a corresponding groove on the leg engaging region of the sidewall.
