Home » Applications – Lying Areas
Cows produce 5 times more milk lying down versus standing. Our mattresses increase comfort while reducing injuries and improving hygiene.
Free stall beds are where cows rest. Mattresses in these areas provide soft, dry, and supportive surfaces that protect joints and encourage cows to lie down longer.
Used in tie-stall barns, these mattresses provide both resting and milking areas for each cow. Rubber bedding helps reduce pressure points, improves cleanliness, and supports cow comfort during extended periods of lying or standing.

Animat was quick to come down to our facility to design the plan and determine exactly how many mats we needed. Animat has been great to work with. They answered all my questions going into the project.

It is an investment.. But when you consider what your overall investment is in the cattle and their performance, you need to give those cattle very opportunity to perform at their utmost ability.

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.
