To make walkway mats slip resistant there is often used deep profiling. But deeply profiled walkway mats can hardly be cleaned. In our opinion this is critically regarding the danger of infectious claw diseases.
Last week our KRAIBURG Partner Daniela Schmidt-Kuttner solemnly launched our new "Press 18". We are very proud about our new production line, with which we will be well equipped for the future.
A study at "HBLFA Raumberg-Gumpenstein", Austria, showed that the slip resistance on walking alleys can be further improved through profiKURA mats.
If the cows slip more often in summer because of dried smeary layers, simply cleaning the walking alley with water helps.
This week we launch another new product: our popular comfort cover WELA LongLine is now also available as single mat with straight or puzzle shaped edges.
Due to the stable blade profile, the single mat as well adapts optimally to the body shape of the cow and offers high permanent softness.

Rubber covers for bull fattening bring many advantages. Farm manager Mr. Wilger is especially very well pleased with our new slatted floor cover LOSPA SB with curved surface for even better cleanliness and sure-footedness. He told us about his experiences.
A study compared the claw health of cows kept on concrete slatted floors to cows kept on pediKURA® S rubber covers. All in all, the claws were considerably healthier on rubber floorings with abrasive function.
With two examples we show you how the renovation of dairy cow cubicles respectively walking areas with KRAIBURG products improved animal health and therefore increased milk yield.
