cooler room question

[korytm]

We're looking into building a walk in cooler room. 25ftx12ft. We want the animals to be free moving. We're not quite sure on what type of flooring to put in. Something thats easy on their hooves,easy to clean, and keeps it from smelling like ammonia. Any ideas???
I've seen small cooler rooms where the animals are just tied and how the layout/pitch of the floor is. Don't know what to do about floor for a walk in cooler room! Any suggestions on ideas you know would work the best to accomplish all this.

I would suggest concrete with a layer of sand then mulch/cedar fiber.

If your free moving make sure to slope the concrete for the whole room to one location and that would allow everything to drain and clean easier.

Do you know of some kind of flooring to put over top the concrete thats going to keep things sanitary but also be comforatble for them to stand on?

We have rubber trailer mats on top of the concrete and then a good 6-8 inches of ceder fiber on top of that. The floor all drains to the back so it can be washed out.
