Improved Cow Comfort and Health

Cow comfort directly impacts their health and productivity. KRAIBURG rubber mats offer a soft yet firm surface that enhances circulation, reduces lameness, and prevents joint swelling. Studies show that cows resting on KRAIBURG mats experience higher levels of comfort. Comfortable cows are not only healthier but also more productive, as they experience better fertility rates, milk yields, and reduced veterinary costs. By providing the optimal surface for cows to lie down and ruminate, these mats promote healthy milk production and reduce the risk of metabolic disorders.

Optimal Lying Position

The lying position has two key advantages for cows: it promotes the highest level of blood circulation in the udder and facilitates rumination. As the saying goes, "Milk is produced lying down." KRAIBURG mats provide a comfortable and supportive surface, encouraging cows to lie down more frequently, which in turn enhances milk production and overall health.

Reduced Injuries

KRAIBURG mats help reduce the incidence of injuries among cows, contributing to better overall health and productivity. They provide a grip surface, reducing the risk of falls and injuries. One of the biggest risks for dairy cattle kept indoors is hoof diseases, which occur mainly when the mechanical and hygienic conditions inside a barn do not meet the natural requirements of the animals. Hard and abrasive barn flooring can lead to incorrect loads and pressure points, causing inflammation and, if left untreated, significant lameness.

Lameness in cows leads to restricted movement, reduced feed intake, and increased risks of metabolic disorders and other diseases, directly impacting fertility and milk yield. By investing in KRAIBURG mats, you can prevent these issues, ensuring better hoof health and overall well-being of your livestock. This not only enhances the cows' health but also improves economic efficiency on your farm.

Enhanced Air Quality in Cow Barns

KRAIBURG rubber mats help reduce ammonia levels, improving air quality in cow barns. Better air quality means fewer respiratory issues and a healthier environment for your livestock.

By using these mats, you provide a cleaner, drier surface that minimizes ammonia buildup. This directly enhances the well-being of your cows, leading to better health, higher productivity, and improved milk yields, ensuring a more profitable operation.
