At Cow-Welfare™ we know the difference between the best and the second best, when it comes to cow cubicle mattresses.
That is why we have developed our very own cow cubicle mattress: Cow-Welfare LatexSoft™, so the cows will enjoy better sleeping comforts. Years ago we were merchants of various mattresses, but we were never quite satisfied with those products. In 2005 we, therefore, decided to do something about it; we chose to develop our very own mattress.
We contacted a Danish company, which makes mattresses for you and me. We gave them all the data about a cow: How much is the weight? What is the weight of the cows stomach? How big is the pressure from the hooves? Etc. All these data were accumulated in a computer; this experiment led to the mattress we have today.
Cow-Welfare Latex Soft ™ mattress has now been installed in many barns throughout Europe since 2005 without any problems.
The world’s first oblique mattress for cows
Cow-Welfare LatexSoft CHY™ (Comfort High Yield) differs from other mattresses on the market
The Cow-Welfare LatexSoft CHY™ mattress is developed to reduce the weight on the cows forefoot joints while the cows are lying down. Experiments have shown that the burden is on the root of the forefoot joints when the cows are lying down with a pressure of 350-480 kg. The cow itself weighs 500-600 kg, so the weight pressure on the root of the forefoot joints is more than 60% of the cows’ body weight.
