For cow comfort, safety and hygiene

This interlocking puzzle mat provides secure flooring for cows to move easily inside your barn or parlour. You’ll see the difference when your cows walk with long, confident steps. The surface offers a good grip, encouraging cow visits to the feed fence and water trough – for higher intake and increased milk yield.

You’ll find it easier to spot cows in heat too, when they move more naturally.

Slot it together

You can upgrade rough alley surfaces quickly by installing DeLaval R18P. The durable rubber floor mat slots together in segments, so it is simple to install for a rapid improvement in cow welfare and productivity.

Benefits your cows – and your profitability

DeLaval alley coverage R18P improves cow comfort for better:

• cow performance – milk yield and profitability. Secure footing encourages cows to walk more often to feed and the water, for higher feed intake, more milk.

• heat detection – the slip-resistant surface encourages cows to move more, which enables better heat detection and improves fertilization hit-rate.

• cow stability – reduces lameness. Secure footing encourages natural cow movement, for good hoof development.

• cow welfare – better hygiene and less stress. Facilitates better drainage, for drier floors. More secure footing reduces risk of injuries from cows slipping.

Flexible interlocking system

• Easy to install: slots together in segments, and fixes to the floor in an animal friendly way.

• Available in standard sizes which can be slotted together to cover any open spaces like waiting areas and parlours.

• When used in alleys cleared by manure scrapers it is fitted to each side of the central scraper mechanism.

• Good drainage: water flows easily through the ribbed base.
