The SureFoot® Mat improves ‘welfare for animals and people’ by providing a safer rubber surface under foot!
Traditional concrete surfaces often contribute to injury to cattle through slipping and falling and through hoof splitting. Cattle yards, pens and laneways become slippery and uneven and cattle are at high risk of injury and infection. Slipping over can result in severe damage to leg tendons and lower spine and this type of injury frequently leads to the animal having to be put down. The SureFoot®Mat provides an easy to install, cost effective solution that virtually eliminates cattle losses resulting from falls.
