Pigs can utilize a wide variety of feedstuffs viz. floors in modern pig pens often consist of concrete, which grains, forages, damaged feeds, and garbage and convert is harsh and abrasive for sensitive feet and legs.

Ulcerative skin lesions can develop in many prolific breeders with high fecundity and shorter generation regions, such as the limbs, tail, flank, udder, legs or ears by interval. They have high growth potential of reaching a hard floor and prolonged lying time (Kschonek et al., market weight at an early age under better management 2025). Heel bruising and main claw coronary band lesions conditions. Large White Yorkshire is a large sized and most were seen more frequently and at greater degrees severity extensively used exotic pig breed in India. Their body is in piglets kept on slatted plastic floors than in piglets kept solid white colored with erect ears, dished face and snout of on rubber mats with litter (Heimann et al., 2024). Pigs in medium length. An adult boar (male pig) weighs around 300 raised floors suffer from lameness and injuries while those to 400 kg and an adult sow weighs around 230 to 320 kg. Pig of deep floor suffer only from diarrhea (Tracy et al., 2018) farming requires a small investment on buildings, equipment In commercial pig production, pigs are mostly kept on a and for protection against diseases. Pigs are known for slatted, semi-slatted concrete or concrete floor. These floor their meat yield, which in terms of dressing percentage or types are advantageous in terms of durability, hygiene, and carcass yield ranges from 60 to 80%, which in comparison human
