Why Durapak Cubicle Mats?
Durapak Cubicle mats: a range of sizes and thicknesses
Durapak Cubicle Mats are made from Ethyl-Vinyl-Acetate (EVA) which is a non-porous polymer providing a soft, warm, comfortable cubicle mat for all livestock including cows, weanlings, pigs and horses.
All animals spend more time lying in cubicles without mats. Independent researchers working with cows have discovered that cows spent more time in cubicles which contained mats. It was found that cubicles with mats were re-occupied very quickly after a cow had left. This meant that a cubicle with mats was used over four times each night compared to twice for the cubicles without mats.
Main benefits
- Higher Occupancy
- Soft, Warm & Comfortable
Using modern computerised equipment Durapak Mats are manufactured using EVA compounds which are blown to produce a mat which is soft, warm and has outstanding comfort characteristics. - Flexibility to 'turn' mats
Allows flexibility in 'facing' either side of the mat upwards. 'Turning' mats extends the lifetime of the mat and the two-sided pattern allows for this flexibility while still maintaining the non-slip characteristics. - Thicker mats lead to increased comfort
- Increased Yields & reduced veterinary costs
When livestock are warm and comfortable they perform better. With the cushioned effect of the Durapak Mats, you will find a reduction in solar ulcers resulting in a drop of veterinary bills.
