DeLaval slatted floor coverage

Walk in comfort, stand easily

More natural movement – more milk.

Providing your cows with more confident footing will encourage more movement, more natural cow behaviour. Slatted floor coverage from DeLaval provides secure footing which combines softness with a good grip.

DeLaval slatted floor coverage SFC-F is easy to clean with robot or conventional manure scrapers. The sloped DeLaval slatted floor coverage SFC-S is the solution for areas where scrapers don’t go, as the slightly curved surface slopes towards the gaps between the slats for good drainage.

Benefits your cows – and you

DeLaval slatted floor coverage SFC-F and SFC-S improve 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.

Features

• Easy to install: self-wedging rubber mats in 2 m lengths each cover 2 slats and a gap. No fixative is needed, no screws, no sharp edges.

• Good drainage: the patterned surface lets liquids drain away promptly, and water flows easily through ribbed base.
