We are very pleased with the Intershape
cow mattress system, the cows are
clean and comfortable, we have no problems with abrasions and the
bedding retention is very good.”
Adrian Joynt, farm manager Walford and North Shropshire College.

The
cows are very comfortable and look very well and very happy. In
spring they have the choice of lying inside or in the fields and
some of them prefer the mattress.
It is a vast improvement on our previous [deep bedding] system. We
put shredded paper on the cow mattress 3 times a week, we are using a
lot less bedding and it takes no more than 15 minutes to do 170
beds.”

Why Use Intershape Cow Mattress ?
Our cow mattress provides a comfortable, supportive bedding surface
which:
- Increases milk yields by encouraging cows to
lie and ruminate for longer
- Reduces vet bills by supporting cows as they get up and down, reducing leg injuries and
abrasions
- Reduces the incidence of mastitis by keeping cows clean and dry for longer,
improving udder and milk hygiene.
