Milking Platform

About 3 years ago the Cooks had a new concrete floor laid in their dairy and learnt very quickly that it was far too smooth causing their dairy cows to slip. Over the next 2 years they lost 6 milking cows which was both upsetting and costly each valued at $1,500. Combined with the loss of milk production of $3,000 per head (6,000 litres p.a. x $0.50 per litre) the Cooks valued this at a total herd loss of $27,000 for the 2 years (not including lost future lactations).

Testimonial....   "I make comment on the SureFoot Rubber Matting which you installed for us in our cattle underpass.  Since making the change to the rubber, the cattle have been considerably easier to move and have experienced less trouble with foot soreness.  We have not had any problem with cows slipping as they descend or ascend the underpass.  This has been a very positive upgrade"

George & Dianne Wade had a problem in their dairy farm on their milking platform where the larger cows kept pushing the younger cattle and causing them to slip over. This caused ongoing injuries to the smaller animals with an abundance of hip & pelvis breaks, and consequently the loss of heifers during the mornings’ milking.
