Die Verwendung von Betonb\u00f6den wird mit vermehrten Klauenproblemen in Verbindung gebracht. Eine Erh\u00f6hung sowohl der Weichheit als auch des Reibungsgrades der Bodenoberfl\u00e4che verbessert die Beweglichkeit der K\u00fche und verringert das Risiko von Verletzungen durch St\u00fcrze. Weichere Bodenbel\u00e4ge vor Futtertr\u00f6gen k\u00f6nnen die Zeit verl\u00e4ngern, die Rinder in der N\u00e4he des Futtertroges verbringen, und die Futteraufnahme erh\u00f6hen. In der Studie wurden ungerillte Betonb\u00f6den mit den weicheren Gummibodenbel\u00e4gen von Animat verglichen, die eine raue Oberfl\u00e4che mit guter Reibung aufweisen. Auf Animat-B\u00f6den liefen die K\u00fche etwa 8 % schneller und rutschten weniger: 70 % der K\u00fche rutschten mindestens einmal aus, wenn sie auf Beton liefen, aber nur 20 % rutschten aus, wenn sie auf Animat liefen. Wir verglichen trockengestellte K\u00fche, die in einem Stall gehalten wurden, in dem der Boden vor dem Futtertrog entweder aus Betonrosten oder mit Animat bedeckten Spalten bestand. Mit Animat stellten sie fest, dass die K\u00fche l\u00e4nger am Futtertrog standen (durchschnittlich 5,5 Stunden pro Tag) als bei Betonb\u00f6den vor dem Futtertrog (4,8 Stunden pro Tag). Lahme K\u00fche nehmen weniger Futter auf: Andere Studien berichteten, dass jeder Fall von Lahmheit mit einer Verringerung der Trockenmasseaufnahme um 28 kg verbunden war. Die Studie empfiehlt Milchviehhaltern, vor Futtertr\u00f6gen weichere Bodenbel\u00e4ge (mit einem angemessenen Reibungsgrad) zu verlegen, um den Komfort in diesem Bereich zu verbessern und die Zeit zu reduzieren, die die K\u00fche im Stall verbringen.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.animat.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/55Rushen.pdf\">Vollst\u00e4ndiger Artikel<\/a><\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5d2ce35 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"5d2ce35\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-76ce7a1 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"76ce7a1\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-18d08db e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"18d08db\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-df59496 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"df59496\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Durchsuchen Sie unsere Brosch\u00fcre<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-417cf10 elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"417cf10\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dpopup%3Aopen%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6IjEwOTkiLCJ0b2dnbGUiOmZhbHNlfQ%3D%3D\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Kopie anfordern<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-73ed2dd e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"73ed2dd\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2ffa0c3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"2ffa0c3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Starten Sie noch heute<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cfbda52 elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"cfbda52\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"https:\/\/www.animat.ca\/de\/contact\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Kontaktieren Sie uns<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The University of Alberta Department of Agricultural Food and Nutritional Science published a study that showed lameness is one of the most serious ailments facing dairy cows, and inappropriate flooring has been implicated as a cause.

With Animat, they found that the cows spent longer standing at the feed bunk (an average of 5.5 hours per day) than when there were concrete floors in front of the feed bunk (4.8 hours per day). Lame cows have a reduced feed intake: other studies reported that each instance of lameness was associated with a reduction of 28 kg in dry matter intake. The study recommends that dairy farmers place softer flooring (with an appropriate degree of friction) in front of feed bunks, to improve comfort in this area and to reduce time spent standing in stalls.","og_url":"https:\/\/www.animat.ca\/de\/designing-better-environments-for-cows-to-walk-and-stand\/","og_site_name":"Animat","article_published_time":"2025-07-18T14:51:19+00:00","article_modified_time":"2025-07-18T14:52:35+00:00","og_image":[{"width":1632,"height":1224,"url":"https:\/\/www.animat.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Shop-061.jpg","type":"image\/jpeg"}],"author":"Sabrina","twitter_card":"summary_large_image","twitter_misc":{"Written by":"Sabrina","Est. reading time":"2\u00a0Minuten"},"schema":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Article","@id":"https:\/\/www.animat.ca\/designing-better-environments-for-cows-to-walk-and-stand\/#article","isPartOf":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.animat.ca\/designing-better-environments-for-cows-to-walk-and-stand\/"},"author":{"name":"Sabrina","@id":"https:\/\/www.animat.ca\/#\/schema\/person\/b04d1463e68fa83679fbfea587470f37"},"headline":"Designing Better Environments for Cows to Walk and Stand","datePublished":"2025-07-18T14:51:19+00:00","dateModified":"2025-07-18T14:52:35+00:00","mainEntityOfPage":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.animat.ca\/designing-better-environments-for-cows-to-walk-and-stand\/"},"wordCount":298,"publisher":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.animat.ca\/#organization"},"image":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.animat.ca\/designing-better-environments-for-cows-to-walk-and-stand\/#primaryimage"},"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/www.animat.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Shop-061.jpg","articleSection":["Uncategorized"],"inLanguage":"de"},{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https:\/\/www.animat.ca\/designing-better-environments-for-cows-to-walk-and-stand\/","url":"https:\/\/www.animat.ca\/designing-better-environments-for-cows-to-walk-and-stand\/","name":"Designing Better Environments for Cows to Walk and Stand -
