Concrete Grooving For Cows

The best way to solve this problem is to have the concrete grooved.

Concrete grooving for cows.

Where possible the concrete is grooved in two directions causing a chess board design. Concrete grooving can avoid this costly loss. This concrete bulging results in the floor having several convex areas that do not uniformly support cows hooves. Traction in all directions with grooves 1 wide spaced 3 apart which equals four 1 grooves per foot we provide traction for your cattle that keeps them sure footed in any direction of travel whether in pens lockup or free stall alleys.

Concrete grooving is a low cost effective method of providing a skid and slip resistant surface for men machines and livestock. A non slippery surface results in increased activity and positive behaviour from cows. Concrete grooving is a cost effective way to save your cows from slipping and falling or doing the splits. Grooving is the quickest and most cost effective service you can provide your cows for slipping or falling.

Grooving of existing highly polished concrete in cows sheds holding areas walking lanes and cow lots reduces cow injuries and attrition. Cost effective one or two cows saved usually pays for the job grooving is a permanent cure not a temporary band aid repair like roughing up speeds up milking with cows happier to walk on grooved areas knowing they won t slip cows back in paddock sooner staff spend less time milking with better cow flow. The surface will be very dangerous to the cattle and could cause them to do the splits or injuries that could lead to valuable cattle being culled. Many cows moved like they were walking on eggs.

Smooth concrete in cattle yards and walkways is hazardous to cows smooth concrete increases the chance of cows slipping causing injuries. How many quality cattle have you lost because of slippery concrete floors alleys yards and holding pens. More ways to contact us. Typically if you lose one cow the grooving would have paid for itself.

We decided against it since we were afraid of cracking the concrete at lower depths. Over time your yard will become very slippery and dangerous surface both to livestock and humans. Midwest grooving can groove existing concrete or newly poured concrete. Concrete that is too dry will bulge up in the inner space between each round stock member used to form the pattern.
