Founded in 1983, Animat specializes in manufacturing recycled rubber matting and mattress products designed to improve livestock comfort while helping farmers run a more successful and sustainable business.
Animat works with farmers and scientists to design and manufacture advanced rubber products that care for the needs of their animals and operations.
Rubber flooring provides livestock with a comfortable environment that closely simulates natural pasture conditions.
Milk let down by cows on rubber improves as a result of increased comfort and reduced stress.
Cows produce 5 times more milk lying down versus standing. Our mattresses increase comfort while reducing injuries and improving hygiene.
Using rubber rather than concrete in beef cattle operations has been proven to increase rate of gain, improve mobility scores and reduce injuries.
Our farmer partners continue to experience a wide range of performance benefits when choosing to install Animat products across their dairy and beef operations.

Working with Brian at Animat made all the difference. Having someone win us every step of the way, from on-time deliveries to addressing any concerns, was essential for the success of this project.

Animat's rubber flooring provides the cows with a comfortable surface to walk on in their travel lanes, at their feed bunks, and anywhere they move. While they're on our rotary, they stand on the rubber mats, which offers a soft, supportive surface for them to stand on.
