Rubber coverings for walking & milking areas

Walking comfort like on pasture

On soft walking areas the claws become healthier, because the stress is physiologically correct, and blood circulation is optimal – just like in nature.

Walking area coverings with abrasive surface: foot care for the cow

Abrasive rubber floorings create optimized claw abrasion, very similar to conditions in nature, where sandy constituents in the elastic soil ensure that horn formation and abrasion are kept balanced.

With profiKURA the abrasive agent corundum and the special profiling integrated into the surface provide for gentle claw abrasion.

Abrasive corundum

• the second hardest mineral after diamonds
• does not react with acids and bases: best precondition for use in slurry environments
• patented technology which has been well-proven in the KRAIBURG-group for many years
• in practice, an exceptionally high level of sure-footedness has been demonstrated

The pediKURA^® system and profiKURA combine the three most important requirements for an animal-friendly walking alley in a dairy cow house: claw-friendly soft, slip-resistant and abrasive.
