TenCate Nicolon - Flooring Systems for Freestalls and for Slats - Brochure

European regulations make it necessary to reduce CO2 emissions caused by ammoniac and methane. In cooperation with specialists in the dairy farming TenCate Geosynthetics has developed several components for low emission freestall flooring systems, such as the filtering component and the reinforced membrane for the liquid storage. Next to reducing CO2 emisions the flooring in a freestall must be comfortable as well. The essence of freestall systems is that the animals are free to go and lie down wherever they want. The chemical resistant filter fabric creates a breathable flooring, improving animal welfare, prevents hoof problems, and reduces heat stress in summertime. The animals will have good grip on the surface of the floor.
