MAGELLAN® 25
This innovation improves both movement comfort and animal safety, while delivering real health benefits thanks to its drainage grooves.
Its optimized drainage system can reduce ammonia emissions by up to 40%*, while helping prevent lameness and digital dermatitis.
for a 100-cow dairy farm
A wide range of benefits for both cows and farmers
Draining floor for healthier hooves
Magellan® 25 is a 25 mm thick draining rubber floor, designed for high-traffic areas such as alleys, holding areas, milking parlours and robot access zones.
His deep longitudinal grooves ensure efficient drainage, keeping hooves elevated from stagnant liquids. This design limits the amount of moisture on the ground, reducing the risk of foot disorders such as the digitis dermatitis (Mortellaro), the panaris, the cherries or the sole ulcers. It helps limit lameness and prevent premature reforms. Pebbles slide between the grooves, avoiding micro-injuries and protecting the sole of the foot.
Magellan’s high-performance drainage significantly reduces ammonia emissions (up to –40%)*, improving air quality and overall barn hygiene.
The flexibility of natural rubber cushions every step, helping protect joints during frequent movement. Its anti-slip surface, shaped for hoof contact, improves footing and reduces slipping, even on wet floors.
Magellan 25 is fully compatible with straight and V-shaped scrapers.It installs easily without modifying existing equipment and keeps maintenance simple and efficient..

Features
- 25mm thickness, designed to keep hooves dry at all times all the time, even with scraper passes every 90 minutes
- One continuous roll with no joints along the full length, for easier cleaning and reduced bacterial growth
- Compatible with straight and V-shaped scrapers,with optional rubber fingers that can be fitted to existing scrapers
- Textile reinforcement for improved stability, wear resistance and tear strength
Magellan®: a complete solution designed to meet the natural needs of hooves
Flexibility close to natural ground
- Cows’ hooves have evolved to walk on soft, yielding, vegetation-covered surfaces.
- Hard, concrete floors disrupt this natural adaptation, leading to disorders such as chronic inflammation of the distal phalanx, bone overgrowth, and sole ulcers.
- Magellan® flooring replicates the properties of natural ground by providing a flexible, shock-absorbing surface. It increases ground contact area, allowing better weight distribution across the entire hoof and reducing pressure points responsible for internal hoof lesions.
No more slipping
- Groove spacing designed to match hoof width, ensuring secure footing in all conditions.
- Patented surface profile, fully anti-slip.
