By improving cow comfort, you encourage cows to lay longer, taking the stress off their feet and legs, reducing injuries and saving energy for milk production.
Research shows that in an outdoor pasture, healthy cows spend 16 to 20 hours each day lying down. The same cows, when confined to a barn spend only 8 to 10 hours in a prone position.
The surfaces the animals lay on obviously make the difference. Pasture is natural, resilient and comfortable while the barn floor can be hard and unforgiving.

The Pasture Mat®
Installation of the Pasture Mat® system provides the ideal indoor surface for your cows' comfort, and is as close to natural turf as you can get. Pasture Mat® reliably absorbs the shocks of repeated impacts and eliminates the risk of injury to even the heaviest cow. Side-by-side tests with all other types of cow mats prove conclusively that cows prefer Pasture Mat®.
Pasture Mat is shock absorbent, absorbs impact and provides excellent traction, thereby eliminating the risk of injury. In conjunction with the Poly PillowTM , the Pasture Mat will allow your cows to lye comfortably in the correct position, while being able to express most forms of natural behaviour.
There are now over 2 MILLION Pasture Mats®under cows world-wide.
