Simple solution for renovating:

Meets legal requirements quickly and easily.

Better cleanliness:

According to the German order on the protection of farm animals (TierSchNutztV) 30 mm of slit width with rubber covers are permitted.

  • Curved surface with ca. 5 % slope towards the slit
    › facilitates draining of liquids and dries faster
    › increases cleanliness
    › reduces the release of ammonia

  • Even better sure-footedness

  • Increased lying comfort and better heat insulation

  • Fewer injuries and animal losses

  • Noise and stress reducing

  • Enhances weight gain / reduces the fattening period

  • Dimensionally stable and durable
    › large-scale mats extending over several slatted floor elements!
  • Simple and fast installation: easy-to-handle single mats with proven fixing system

  • Easy to clean and disinfect

  • Suitable for both new construction and renovation

Tailor-made

for common longitudinal and transverse slats

Application

For common longitudinal and transverse slats

› fattening bulls and young cattle in pens: up to 250 kg
(or up to 350 kg if the animals are kept in the same pen for the whole fattening / breeding period)
› With higher weights we recommend LOSPA SB or LOSPA swiss

› slatted floor in the walking alley

Healthier animals & fewer injuries

Fully slatted pens with rubber covers provide more sure-footedness and comfort. Along with other things, this is demonstrated by fewer injuries, natural movement patterns and the animal’s preference for rubber.

Rubber covers protect the joints so that standing up and lying down can be performed in a normal way and therefore happen more frequently. This has a positive effect on feed intake. The better sure-footedness allows for behaviour fulfilling the animal’s needs and provides more well-being:

KRAIBURG Info

Important: Balanced feeding is a requirement for clean animals.

KRAIBURG InfoThe mats are generally dimensioned according to the guidelines established by our specialists. The slatted floor must be suitable for covering with KRAIBURG mats.

Complete covering pays off!

In order to reduce injuries and enable all animals to behave fulfilling their needs we recommend that you cover the complete pen with rubber.

If only a part of the pen is covered with rubber mats, it must be ensured that the animals at the feeding area stand on the mat either completely or not at all!

You can find more details on this in our criteria for covering fully slatted pens

optimal: the pen is fully covered with rubber floorings
