Feed alley coating - Cattle

Increase feed intake with a clean plate for your cows

Just as we like to eat from a clean plate, the same goes for cows.

Dirt and humidity present in the concrete of the feed alley infect and deteriorate the food. The result is that the quality and taste of the hay will be worse and the cows will eat less of it.

A layer of resin solves this problem because it isolates the food from bacteria, humidity and mold present in the concrete below.

Benefits of coating in cattle farms

A better feed alley hygiene means better performances for your stable. Find out more on how coating products can help your daily work.

Food preservation

The resin does not allow humidity, bacteria and mold to penetrate. This means that the forage will stay fresher for longer

Lower bacterial pressure

Precisely because there are fewer bacteria in the hay, the cows will be more protected from any pathogens present and therefore will get sick less

Fewer food residues

The higher quality of the feed encourages the cattle to eat more of it, leaving less in the lane and reducing waste

Easy cleaning

The coating is easier to clean than porous concrete. Food residues slide off much more easily and cleaning will be more complete

Wear resistant

This coating has been designed to resist the typical wear and tear of floors on livestock farms and to UV rays

Stories of our customers

You can clearly see that all the feed we put in front of them gets eaten.

Maatschap Meeuwes, 150 dairy cows, HavelteWe chose to use a coating to keep the feed fresher. As a result, the cows eat better, there's less leftover feed, and the freshness is preserved for longer. It also makes things easier in terms of labour. For me, the coating has been well worth the investment—I only wish I had done it ten years earlier!"

We started with just one feed alley and immediately noticed positive results.

Fam. Arkink, 120 dairy cows, Weerselo (NL)It's essential for the feed to stay fresh and palatable to encourage maximum intake — after all, that's the goal. Keeping the feed clean and fresh is crucial, and that's the main reason we chose to apply a coating. After coating the first alley, we quickly saw that the cows on that side were eating significantly more, so it didn’t take long before we decided to treat the rest as well."

Voergangcoating is een grote verbetering voor mij en mijn koeien

Jos Seuntiëns, 230 dairy cows, Knegsel (NL)De coating is eenvoudig zelf te leggen. Het is een grote verbetering voor mij en voor mijn koeien. Als mijn koeien het goed doen, dan is het ook voor mij goed.

Het voer blijft lekker fris dankzij voergangcoating

Tonnie Smets, 160 dairy cows, Lage Mierde (NL)Het is een super investering. De voergang is nu altijd mooi schoon. Het grote voordeel is dat het voer niet aanplakt. Het blijft lekker fris, je hebt minder last van schimmels en bacteriën en het veegt makkelijk aan.
