DURA-PAD is made out of high-grade virgin polyethylene to ensure superior wear resistance and longevity. The rounded tops contribute to the hens comfort, help ensure a safe egg roll off and stop feathers from clinging to the shell. DURA-PAD is designed with holes in the center of each cluster of blades and slotted openings between the clusters to create more open area than any other pad. The increased open space provides better dirt and manure filtration creating a cleaner environment, and the larger open area also makes Dura-Pad easier to clean.
