Safety & healthy claws

KRAIBURG walking area mats are specially adapted to the natural needs of cattle: they are animal-friendly soft, improve claw health and sure-footedness. The cows respond with higher activity and better productivity. Lameness-free cows are more fertile and save a lot of work and costs. Animal-friendly walking areas pay off quickly!

Trafficability

KURA can be driven on with standard equipment such as farm yard loader or tractor with authorized pneumatic tyres at the recommended inflation pressure up to max. 4 bar. (Notice: drive with due care and steer in large radiuses!)

Scraper manure removal

In principal we recommend the use of scrapers specifically developed for rubber floors. For structural alterations it is necessary to adapt the scraper facilities in coordination with the scraper manufacturer, according to the KRAIBURG guidelines for manure scrapers. Robot collectors must be suitable for use on rubber floors.

Important:

Check the scraper at least once a year and grind off the sharp edges!

Highly recommended

18.11.2020

“With the KURA P rubber mats, the cows are much more active and feel great. We’re still seeing all the benefits that the rubber mats have brought right from the start, even after more than 15 years.”

KURA P has already amortized after 15 months

18.11.2020

“Within one year we noticed considerable improvements in the claws. Due to the distinctively increased milk yield of about 300 kg per cow and year, the investment in KURA P has already amortized after 15 months!”

Cows move well on the mats

18.11.2020

“The quality of the KURA and pediKURA P mats is good. We still have the original mats from 2009 in the cattle house, and they show no signs of wear. The cows move well on the mats. Claw care is now more prophylactic, more about checking the claws.”

Excellent slip-resistance

18.11.2020

“Thanks to the softness of the KURA P mats, the cows don’t injure themselves, even if they occasionally slip when mounting each other. They are very sure-footed and slip less on the pediKURA mats.”

Happy with KURA P, even after 15 years

18.11.2020

“We’re still very happy with KRAIBURG rubber mats, even after 15 years. The willingness to walk and sure-footedness of our cows has a positive effect on heat detection, enabling us to achieve good pregnancy rates.”
