Rubber flooring

Rubber floors are becoming increasingly popular for dairy cattle barns - they are flexible, anti-slip and provide good insulation. The soft surface provides more comfort for cows when walking and resting, as cows are less prone to joint damage or chills.

Recent studies have shown that rubber flooring has many advantages compared to concrete floors: Animals display more natural behaviours (making it easier to detect when they are in the rut), there are fewer injuries related to slipping, and higher welfare means higher yields.

Rubber floors are usually laid in the feeding areas, manure corridors, and other passages. They can also be used in milking parlour waiting areas. We provide flooring in the form of plates, tiles, or mats. They can be put together like a jigsaw puzzle, with most sides being locked in to stop pieces from sliding.

Key rubber flooring parameters:

• Easy to install and deinstall.
• Easy to maintain.
• Chemically stable and flame-retardant rubber.
• Oil-resistant material that also provides thermal insulation.
• 17 % fewer limb problems for cows.
• Up to a 20 % drop in culling.
• Minimising slipping injuries.
• Higher cow productivity.
