Flooring configured for a ground of an enclosure for livestock, said flooring comprising:

• a plurality of spacers consisting of plastic parts;
• and
• a plurality of stringers that are made of at least one elastic material and that are configured to be juxtaposed in order to form a bearing surface, said stringers each having a generally parallelepipedal shape, each of the stringers having
• a set of faces including:
• two front faces, one of the front faces being configured to rest on a bearing surface, the other of the front faces being configured to form a bearing portion of said bearing surface, and
• two lateral faces, at least one of the lateral faces being configured to come opposite the lateral face of a juxtaposed stringer, and
• a plurality of recesses configured to cooperate with the spacers that are added to stabilize the juxtaposed stringers with a fixed spacing, and
• wherein said spacers each include:
• a plurality of attachment portions configured to enter said recesses of two juxtaposed stringers, the attachment portions of the spacers and the recesses of two juxtaposed stringers are configured to maintain a groove opening upward between the lateral faces of the juxtaposed stringers, and
• a link portion connecting the attachment portions,
• wherein the spacers have a U-shaped cross-section with:
• two outer flaps forming the attachment portions provided with hooking ribs, and
• a bottom flap forming the link portion,
• wherein at least one of the spacers include
• two inner flaps, remote from each other, the inner flaps being configured to bear on the lateral face of an associated one of the stingers, said bottom flap having a central strip between said two inner flaps, and
• said outer flaps,
• wherein the inner flaps of at least one of the spacers and the central strip of the bottom flap of said spacers are continuous so that the inner flaps of at least one of the spacers and the bottom flap of the spacers form a liquid-tight structure configured to serve as a trough for collection and travel of the liquids.
