Concrete Feed Bunks
Durable Feeding Solutions That Minimize Waste
Cancrete precast feed bunks are built to withstand heavy daily use while helping reduce feed loss and spoilage. Designed for efficiency and longevity, our bunks offer smooth finishes and reinforced construction that stand up to livestock pressure and harsh weather conditions.
Benefits:
- Heavy-duty reinforced concrete construction
- Smooth surfaces for easy cleaning
- Reduced feed waste
- Modular design for flexible layout options
Whether used in feedlots or confinement barns, our feed bunks are built to perform season after season.
Rubber Mats
Improved Comfort, Better Performance
Rubber mats placed over slatted floors enhance cattle comfort and footing. By reducing stress on joints and improving traction, rubber mats can help support healthier movement and reduce the risk of injury.
Why add rubber mats:
- Improved cattle comfort
- Enhanced traction
- Reduced stress on legs and joints
- Maintains manure flow beneath slats
Comfortable cattle are more productive cattle, and small upgrades can deliver measurable results.
Slats, Beams & Columns
The Structural Backbone of Confinement Barns
A reliable confinement system starts with a strong foundation. Cancrete manufactures precision-formed slats, beams, and columns that create durable, long-lasting support systems for deep-pit and slatted-floor barns.
Our concrete slats are engineered for strength while allowing efficient manure transfer below the floor surface. When paired with our structural beams and columns, they create a confinement system designed for safety, animal comfort, and operational efficiency.
Key Advantages:
- High-strength precast concrete
- Engineered load capacity
- Reduced bedding requirements
- Improved cleanliness and cattle comfort
- Long service life with minimal maintenance
Custom Pump-Out Covers
Safe, Secure Access for Manure Management
Proper manure management requires safe and accessible pump-out locations. Cancrete custom pump-out covers are manufactured to fit your specific barn configuration, ensuring durability and worker safety while maintaining system efficiency.
Our covers are designed for long-term performance in high-exposure agricultural environments.
Drive-Over Slats
Designed for Equipment Access and Operational Efficiency
Drive-over slats provide safe and reliable equipment access across slatted areas without compromising structural integrity. These specially engineered units support tractor and service vehicle traffic while maintaining proper manure management flow.
They are ideal for operations that prioritize efficiency and streamlined barn maintenance.
Manure Bubblers
Smarter Deep-Pit Management
Manure bubblers help keep manure in motion within deep-pit systems, improving pump-out efficiency and reducing buildup. By promoting consistent agitation, bubblers help maintain nutrient consistency and simplify annual clean-outs.
This added efficiency supports better long-term pit performance and labor savings.
Easy Shade® Systems
Heat Stress Reduction That Drives Performance
Heat stress impacts feed efficiency and weight gain. Easy Shade® systems provide durable shade structures that reduce heat load while maintaining airflow.
Designed for agricultural use, these structures help:
• Lower cattle heat stress
• Improve feed conversion
• Support consistent weight gain
• Extend usable outdoor space
When cattle stay cooler, performance improves.
