Abstract
The suitability of radiochemical determination methods for examining cleanability of synthetic mats for use in cattle barns was investigated. Five synthetic mats with smooth or rough, undulating or profiled surfaces, were examined. Inorganic particles, in a model soil, were clearly removed more easily from all surfaces than oil in the model soil. The surface profile of the mats clearly influenced cleanability, particularly in the case of the particle soil. The radiochemical laboratory method functioned well with the experimental setup used.
