The Super Dairy Hoofmat can be placed at the entrance to the milking area for the application of liquid hoof remedies. Designed for larger dairy herds or high traffic milking platforms. The design of the mat, combined with weight of the animal, creates an effect that pushes liquid vigorously into the animal’s foot and interdigital cavity of the claw.
Super Dairy is especially suitable for the larger dairy (over 300 cows), this Hoofmat
is made of extra-heavy-duty materials. The outer fabric is of much
heavier construction. We particularly recommend the Super Dairy Hoofmat
for larger dairy herds, or in dairies with chronic lameness problems
requiring continuous use of a Hoofmat. Liquid capacity up to 35 litres. Dimensions are 1.86m long x 1m wide x 3cm thick. For the application of all liquid hoof remedies. Suitable for the treatment and control or prevention of a variety of hoof ailments. Recommended for use at the entrance to the milking area, feed station, or other congregation point. It is preferable that cows stand quietly for a period immediately following passing over the mat. Fill with 30 litres of treatment solution to treat 80-100 cows. Refill as required during use. Hang to drain. (Note: Remedy residues may affect galvanised rails). Consult your veterinarian or hoof specialist for advice prior to use.
The Hoofmat does more than just bathe animals feet in solution or remedy. The design of the mat, combined with weight of the animal, creates an effect that pushes liquid vigorously into the animal’s foot and interdigital cavity of the hoof. Any remedy used in a footbath can be used more effectively and economically in a Hoofmat. This could be formalin, copper- sulphate or a variety of patent remedies. One of the great benefits of changing from a footbath to Hoofmat for lameness treatment and prevention, is the significant reduction in highly-toxic treatment remedies such as formalin and copper-sulphate entering into drainage systems and the environment.
