MAGELLAN® 16
20 K€/year
for a 100-cow farm
Multiple benefits for both the cow and the farmer
The Magellan range: flexible and non-slip flooring
The Magellan flooring range has been designed to respect the natural physiology of cows, whose feet are adapted to flexible floors. Standing and walking on hard floors is unnatural and can lead to trauma, locomotor dysfunction and excessive horn growth, especially in first-calf heifers, which are genetically less prepared to produce good foot pads.
Thanks to its flexibility and drainage grooves, Magellan flooring prevents lesions responsible for foot pathologies while promoting continuous liquid drainage. The result: a drier, less slippery surface, reducing the risk of falls and associated injuries.
By reducing stress related to unstable flooring, cows move more confidently, remain healthier, and express their full production potential. Studies show that a farm equipped with Magellan can gain an entire lactation per 100 cows, while also observing an improvement in fertility rates.
At the same time, the overall hygiene of the building is improved, limiting the proliferation of bacteria responsible for dermatitis such as Mortellaro's disease or heel erosion, and protecting animals with skin lesions on their feet.
Magellan is the choice for high-performance, comfortable, and hygienic flooring, resulting in healthy herds and sustainable results.
Magellan® 16: the solution for slurry robots
To support the growth of vacuum robots and meet the needs of farms that are equipping themselves with them, we have developed a thinner version of our Magellan® 25 draining rubber flooring: Magellan® 16.
With its 16 mm thickness, this flooring retains the main advantages of Magellan while offering optimal compatibility with slurry robots. Its longitudinal groove profile is perfectly cleaned by specially adapted brushes that can be attached to the robot.
Magellan® 16 represents the ideal compromise to benefit from the comfort, drainage, and hygiene of Magellan®, while taking advantage of the daily efficiency of a vacuum robot.
Features
- Installation areas: traffic lanes, waiting areas, milking parlor, in front of the milking robot.
- Non-slip: for the safety of cows and their well-being, more confident in their footing.
- Compatible with all types of cleaning: automatic, robotic, tractor, etc.
Magellan®: a complete solution to meet the natural needs of hooves
Flexibility comparable to that of natural ground
- The cow's hooves have been shaped by evolution to walk on soft, loose, vegetation-covered ground.
- Hard, concrete floors disrupt this natural adaptation, causing problems such as chronic inflammation of the distal phalanx, the formation of bony growths, or sole ulcers.
- Magellan® flooring replicates the qualities of natural ground by providing a flexible and cushioning surface. It increases the contact area with the ground, allowing for better weight distribution across the entire hoof, and reduces pressure points that cause internal foot lesions.
No more slipping
- Groove intervals calculated in relation to the width of the hooves, to secure the hoof in all situations.
- Patented surface profile, completely non-slip.
