Our Grooved Rubber Flooring is the next best option to give your dairy cows the feeling and comfort of grass on their hooves. The more comfortable the cow, the more healthy she will be. 

  • Our flooring has shown to decrease Somatic Cell Counts in milk tests, mainly from the reduced stress of the cow. 
  • Cows will stand longer at the feed bunk and eat more because they are comfortable. 
  • Cows hooves wear more normally.

Rubber Mats for Dairy Cattle Barns

Cows need to walk an average of 1.7-2.3 miles every day to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Studies prove that cows will show improvement in mobility when they are exposed to flooring that has higher friction. When flooring is too rough, your cows will start to show signs of discomfort in their attitude and mobility. That is why Grooved Rubber Alley/Stall Mats are crucial in helping your cows from falling and getting hurt.


Cow Stall Mats are also crucial to dairy production; your cows need to be as comfortable as possible if you want to get the most out of them. The better your mats are, and the more comfortable your cows are, the more you get from them in return. Cow mats can help eliminate the cold and humidity from concrete floors; this in return will help prevent your cows from getting fatigued.

Horse Stall Mats

There are a variety of reasons to utilize horse stall mats, the number one reason being comfort. The soft nature of the the rubber mat offers a comfortable place for horses to lie which alleviates joint and hoof injuries that are caused by jarring or bumping on a hard surface. In addition, the rubber horse stall mats provide excellent grip to prevent injuries from slipping and falling. An added bonus is that the mats provide more warmth than conventional concrete or dirt floors. 


One of the best benefits of having rubber stall mats for your horses is that they are easy to wash and disinfect, adding to the overall health and safety of your horses.
