FLEXIBLE AND COMFORTABLE

Increased contact surface, less pressure on the legs

NON-SLIP

Its design prevents falls and stress due to slipping.

IMPROVED HOOF HEALTH

Ensures that the hooves stay dry and healthy. Effectively combats the spread of digital dermatitis and strawberry foot rot.

REDUCTION OF AMMONIA EMISSIONS

-40% nitrogen oxide emissions, limits lung diseases

FACILITATES HEAT DETECTION

Draining floor for healthier claws

The 25 mm thick draining rubber flooring Magellan® 25 is specifically designed for high-traffic areas: passageways, waiting areas, milking parlors or robot entrances.

Deep longitudinal grooves effectively drain liquids, helping to keep hooves above stagnant liquids. This design reduces moisture on the floor, lowering the risk of hoof diseases such as digital dermatitis (Mortellaro's disease), panaris, "cherry," and sole ulcers. It also contributes to limiting lameness and preventing early culling. Stones slide between the grooves, preventing micro-lesions and protecting the sole area.

Magellan's effective drainage system improves air quality and overall barn hygiene by reducing ammonia emissions by up to 40%.

Comfortable due to the flexibility of natural rubber, Magellan helps protect joints during frequent walking. The non-slip surface, adapted to the hoof morphology, increases safety and reduces the risk of slipping, even when the floor is wet.

The Magellan® 25, compatible with all types of scrapers, is easily installed on existing equipment without modification and offers simple, effective cleaning.

Features

With a thickness of 25 mm, designed to keep hooves constantly dry, scraper passage every 90 minutes.
One-piece roll with no joints along its entire length: easier cleaning and reduced risk of bacterial growth.
Compatible with all scrapers, a groove cleaning brush can be added to the existing scraper.
Textile insert that ensures the stability of the rubber and provides better resistance to wear and tear.

Magellan®: A complete solution that meets the natural needs of hooves.

Flexibility similar to natural ground.

Cows' hooves have evolved to walk on soft, loose, and vegetated ground.
Hard and concrete floors disrupt this natural adaptation, causing discomforts such as chronic inflammation of the distal phalanx, bone spurs, or sole ulcers.
Magellan® flooring mimics the characteristics of natural ground by providing a flexible and cushioning surface. By increasing the contact area with the ground, it allows for better weight distribution across the entire hoof, reducing pressure points that cause injuries in the inner parts of the foot.
