To limit foot injuries and lameness, which weaken cows and penalize their production, it's important to pay attention to the quality of stall floors. The addition of rubber mats makes the floor more supple and therefore more comfortable for the cows.
Clean feet are an essential factor in the good health of cows. A study by the Institut de l'Elevage (French livestock institute) has shown that the installation of Magellan mats, coupled with frequent and effective scraping, not only provides comfort for the animals, but also improves foot hygiene.
Lameness is on the increase in dairy herds. Taking account of lameness in selection criteria, early detection and soil type are ways of reducing the frequency of these pathologies.
The quality of traffic floors has an impact on the health of cows' feet and, in turn, on milk production.
Providing your animals with maximum well-being helps optimize their performance. In this respect, paying close attention to soil quality reduces the risk of lameness.
Cows' feet don't usually cope well with hard, dirty traffic floors, which are ideal for injuries and infections.
To ensure that your dairy cows get the most out of their feed at the feed fence, it's best to provide them with a comfortable feeding environment.
