Figure 2 shows a schematic view of the shed 100 with floor 1 from a different perspective. The shed 100 has an underground 101 and a feeding surface 102 which is elevated relative to the underground 101 and is separated therefrom by means of a feeding fence 103. Such a shed is suitable as a goat shed. The floor 1 according to the invention is placed on the base 101 of the shed 100, adjacent to the feeding fence 103. The floor 1 according to the invention comprises a first floor part 10 and a second floor part 20, which adjoin each other. The first floor part 10 is inclined and slopes downwards from the feeding fence 103 towards the second floor part 20. The first floor part 10 forms an active zone where the goats stand to eat.
    The second floor part 20 is also inclined and slopes downwards towards the first floor part 10. The second floor part 20 forms a passive zone where the goats can rest. Preferably, the angle of inclination of the second floor part 20 is greater than the angle of inclination of the first floor part 10.
    Figure 3 shows a part D of figure 2 with a boundary region G schematically in more detail and Figure 5 shows a cross-section of the boundary region G.
    Preferably, the first floor part 10 and the second floor part 20 comprise different material. Preferably, the material of the first floor part 10 is softer than the material of the second floor part 20. A suitable material for the first floor part 10 is rubber. A suitable material for the second floor part 20 is concrete. Optionally, the floor part 20 is of solid design and for instance filled with filling material, such as sand.
