Immediate adoption, a clear sign of comfort
In a dairy barn, cow behaviour doesn’t lie. Poorly adapted equipment leads to hesitation or avoidance. A well-designed mattress, on the other hand, is used straight away.
Here, there is no adaptation phase. As soon as the mattresses are installed, they are occupied. Cows lie down naturally, confirming that comfort is instantly perceived.
This kind of response is a reliable indicator of lying comfort quality.
Aquastar Ultimate: a water mattress designed for cows
Visit Aquastar Ultimate mattress is based on water technology that increases contact surface and improves pressure distribution.
This reduces pressure points and supports blood circulation, particularly in the udder.
The mattress becomes an active component of lying comfort, directly influencing cow behaviour.
Aquaclim: conductive cooling, exactly where it matters
The Aquaclim Up system is integrated beneath the water chamber of the Aquastar mattress.
Fresh water circulates continuously through a network of pipes, drawing heat away from the cow and keeping the mattress consistently cool, even in hot conditions..
Unlike conventional ventilation systems that act on ambient air, Aquaclim works through conduction.
Cooling is delivered directly at the cow’s main contact areas: the belly, the udder and the mammary veins.
These zones contain a dense blood network, allowing heat to be transferred quickly and efficiently.
The effect is immediate. Heat is removed directly from circulating blood, at the core of the cow’s thermal system.
A targeted response to heat stress
Visit Heat stress has a direct impact on dairy performance, affecting feed intake, milk production and fertility.
Aquaclim addresses this challenge by acting at the most strategic moment: when the cow lies down..
This is when contact surface is at its maximum, and when heat exchange is most effective. By improving thermal comfort at this stage, Aquaclim helps maintain consistent behaviour, supporting rumination, circulation and stable milk production.
It also contributes to better fertility outcomes by keeping cows in more stable physiological conditions.
A first installation that reflects the Bioret approach
This first installation in Portugal with Dedicampo reflects a simple approach: focus on where the impact is real.
The mattress is no longer just a surface to lie on. It becomes an active interface that supports comfort, thermoregulation and performance at the same time.
And the result is immediate.
When cows lie down within minutes, the level of comfort speaks for itself.
