Description
Why Choose the Animat 1 Rubber Mat Topper?
Encourages Natural Lying Behaviour
Research shows that a softer lying surface can help cows achieve an additional 1.1–1.8 hours of rest per day, supporting welfare and productivity.
Protects Joint Health
Unlike bare concrete, the cushioned rubber surface helps reduce pressure on joints, lowering the risk of hock lesions and joint swelling.
Comfortable with Minimal Bedding
While deep bedding systems remain the benchmark, the Animat 1 provides the traction, insulation, and cushioning cows prefer, even when bedding levels are limited.
Hygienic and Easy to Clean
The non-porous rubber surface helps reduce bacterial build-up and requires less maintenance than deep-bedded cubicles.
Proven Animat Quality
Manufactured from durable vulcanised rubber and backed by a 3-year conditional warranty, Animat 1 delivers reliable long-term performance.
