If you have a horse stable or a dairy farm, choosing the right flooring can be a crucial decision that impacts animal well-being, farm operations and ultimately, your bottom line. Rubber flooring has emerged as a top choice for animal and age use due to its durability, comfort, and ease of maintenance. In this blog post, we'll explore the advantages of Terrain® rubber flooring for dairy farms and horse stables, and explain why it's an ideal solution for farm flooring.
Benefits of Rubber Flooring in Dairy Farms:
Comfort for Cows: Dairy cows spend a significant portion of their lives standing and walking around. Rubber flooring, like the Terrain® Bubble Top Mat, provides excellent cushioning, reducing stress on joints and hooves, leading to healthier and more productive cows.
Slip Resistance: The inherent slip-resistant nature of rubber flooring enhances cow safety, preventing potential injuries caused by slipping, especially in areas prone to moisture or spills.
Easy to Clean: Rubber flooring is non-porous and resistant to moisture, making it easy to clean and maintain. This is essential for maintaining a clean and hygienic environment in dairy facilities.
Noise Reduction: Milking parlors and feeding areas can get noisy. Rubber flooring absorbs sound, creating a quieter and calmer atmosphere that contributes to animal comfort.
Advantages of Rubber Flooring in Horse Stables:
Joint Health: Horses' joints are vulnerable to damage from constant impact on hard surfaces as they canter or walk. Rubber flooring provides a supportive surface that reduces strain on joints, promoting healthier horses.
Hygienic and Low Maintenance: Rubber flooring is resistant to moisture and easy to clean, crucial for preventing bacterial growth and ensuring a clean environment in stables.
Comfortable Resting Area: Horses are known to spend a long time resting. The cushioning effect of rubber mats, like the Terrain® Hammer Top, offers a comfortable and relaxing, contributing to the overall well-being of the animals.
Durability: Heavy-duty rubber flooring can withstand the weight of horses and their activities in stables, ensuring a longer lifespan compared to traditional flooring materials.
By choosing rubber flooring, farmers can create an optimal living and working space for their livestock, leading to better productivity and well-being. Terrain® offers a wide range of resilient flooring solutions, such as Polyurethane and EPDM Wet Pour, which can be used in other parts of the farm as well.
