NZ Dairy Summer 2022

AgMat specialises in the safety and welfare of both cows and people from foot level upwards, providing kiwi farmers with the highest quality range of rubber matting products produced especially for the comfort of dairy cows. AgMat has come by its passion for cattle welfare honestly, with its background in family farming. “We’ve been servicing farmers since the early 2000s and have helped farmers all over New Zealand overcome all sorts of animal welfare related issues,” says AgMat sales manager Edward Simpkin. “Studies have shown rubber matting has a positive impact on mobility for hoof and limb health. The softer underfoot surfaces provided by rubber mats reduces pressure on the hoof and reduces lameness. Ensuring the surfaces around dairy sheds are comfortable and non-slip is one of the best ways to increase cow confidence and productivity, reducing stone punctures and fall injuries, and resulting in less vet bills lowering operating costs on farm. With advancements in technology, and innovations in products and solutions, we can provide high-quality matting products that are reliable, durable, and cost efficient.” AgMat products are designed to be placed on hazardous concrete yards on your farm. “Adding cow shed AgMats to your farmyards decreases slippage by as much as 90%, providing a far safer space for your cattle to move around in. Cows are far less likely to slip over on the rubber mat, reducing traumatic injuries or even loss altogether.” Cows love environments that are familiar and comfortable. Where concrete floors are a foreign, stressful, and hazardous material to cows, rubber floor mats function as a carpet for cows, because they feel like natural grass paddocks. “While cows tend to dislike change, installing these mats is more efficient long term, as the cows will adapt very quickly and not be fearful of the yard spaces. Supplying the dairy industry with high-quality rubber solutions, AgMat is helping farmers all over New Zealand prevent problems caused from hard surfaces, creating more workable stress-free Cow Comfortable Zones like feedpads and standoff yards. “Some of the many advantages of providing a safe environment for your livestock results in contented calm cows which will produce more milk, and improved cow flow onto yard and through the shed.” Agmat ’s non-porous rubber is easier to clean than concrete, and makes milking times so much easier on both the cows and the milkers. AgMat reduces any stray voltage through the floor, helping also with quieter smoother milking times. AgMat ’s heavy duty Dairy Grip rolls product is guaranteed to withstand a daily use of cattle for at least twenty years. This 100% recycled ex-mining rubber is perfect for metal-based tracks and standoff pads, with an extremely tough, 25mm thickness. The steel cabling system within AgMat ’s Dairy Grip industrial rubber mats can easily withstand heavy impact from livestock and machinery such as automatic scrapers, tractors, or skid steers. The Dairy grip rolls are specially grooved to give safe grip. AgMat sources its environmentally friendly rubber matting products from a company that recycles rubber from some of the world’s leading rubber brands. Because of the product ’s durability and flexibility, farmers using AgMat no longer have to waste their time and money maintaining tracks by filling up potholes or using excessive on going amounts of metal.
