"We have seen major improvements over 10 years in animal health, with lower vet costs and reduced pressure on staff having to handle injured animals as well as efficient production and savings with race maintenance", says Albert Pouwels.
No more potholes were building in wet weather, that made cows reluctant to step onto the race."By laying the JakMats we've really improved what happens in the cowshed itself as we've got far less carry-over stones coming inside and no interruptions to milking, as the cows don't need to be pushed along to keep them moving".
"Once we improved the condition of the race we found less lamness with higher milking efficiency".
"We work really hard at educating our staff and making sure our races are up to standard, enabling us to operate efficiently in the cowshed. JakMats have been a great part of reducing our cow herd lameness".
