Field feedback after 7 years of use
Built in 2018, the barn was designed from the outset with a clear focus: prioritising animal comfort and equipment durability. The farmer chose Aquastar water mattresses with Aquaboard kneeboards, replacing sand-bedded cubicles. He also opted for Magellan rubber flooring as an alternative to grooved concrete.
After several years of use, the results are clear and evident on a daily basis.
"If we had to do it all over again, the first thing we’d order would be waterbeds and walkways."
Even in hot weather, the mattresses remain cool and refreshing. As a result, cows continue to lie down for longer. This is a key factor for both well-being and production.
The farmer also emphasizes the ease of use of the system. Filling and adjustments are easily carried out using a simple hose, with no specific technical constraints. In addition, no leakage issues have been reported since installation.
Beyond technical performance, the visual appearance and product quality are immediately apparent. Convinced by the results, he readily talks about it and recommends the solution to other farmers.
This testimonial, based on real-life experience, confirms the wisdom of his initial decision.
