The skin abrasion and subsequent infection of wounds and joints are very frequent in piglets in farrowing pens on commercial farms. The disinfectant with glycerine content used after farrowing created an oil film on plastic grates and piglets slid back on this smooth surface. The reduction of thoracic limbs injury was noted after deletion of disinfection (P less than 0.01). Covering of slippery grates by plastic matting caused a significant reduction of injury of thoracic and pelvic limbs (P less than 0.01).
