Milk let down by cows on rubber improves as a result of increased comfort and reduced stress.
This is the platform where cows stand during milking. Rubber provides a stable, comfortable surface that keeps cows steady, reduces fatigue, and supports a smoother and safer milking.
Rotary platforms continuously rotate as cows are milked in motion. Rubber improves traction and comfort on these moving surfaces, helping cows stay relaxed and secure throughout milking.
These are key transition points where cows enter and leave the milking parlor. Rubber flooring in these spots prevents slipping, supports better traffic flow, and reduces hesitation or injury in high-stress moments.
A lowered area in the milking parlor where workers stand during milking. Anti-fatigue mats are recommended to help reduce tiredness and joint pain from standing for long periods.

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.

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.
