Agri-Comfort - Agri-Grid Sand Saver for Freestall Bedding
The Agri-Grid Sand Saver is designed to optimize sand bedding levels in freestalls, directly influencing cow comfort and milk yield. Research has shown that a reduction in sand bedding can significantly decrease the time cows spend lying down, impacting their overall well-being. This innovative product can reduce sand or compost use by up to 50%. The grid structure of the sand saver, made from 100% virgin tire rubber compound, provides exceptional durability and reduces the labor required for stall maintenance. The solid base minimizes cows' tendency to dig into the sand, keeping the bed level and reducing the formation of deep ruts from constant digging. The product dimensions are 25 mm thick, with a length of 61.5 inches (1.56 meters) and a width of 48 inches (1.22 meters). The rubber tiles efficiently absorb pressure from the weight of the animals, helping to alleviate stress on their joints and muscles.
Sand bedding levels in freestalls affect how much time cows spend lying down which can increase comfort and milk yield. A recent MSU study found that cows spent less time lying down as sand bedding levels decreased. It was further noted that for each 1 inch decrease in sand level below curb height cows spent 28 fewer minutes lying in freestalls.
Reduce Your Sand/Compost Use by up to 50%!
Less stall maintenance:
With the solid base, cows have less of a tendency to dig in the sand, so the bed does not “belly out.” Traditionally, a lot of labor is spent evening out the sand bed. With the Agri-Grid Sand Saver, the bed stays more level. Lucas Donkers of Rose Vega Farms says, “A 35-40 percent savings in sand use convinced us to install the Grid in the rest of our stalls. A level bed means that daily stall maintenance is dramatically reduced.”
Made from 100% Virigin Tire Rubber Compound
Exceptional Durability:
The product is only manufactured with new virgin tire rubber compound and is designed as a grid-like structure. The Agri-Grid Sand Saver is an excellent alternative to conventional open stall bases. The rubber tiles absorb pressure from the weight of the animal, alleviating stress on joints and muscles. The placement of the tiles assists in preventing the formation of deep ruts from constant digging, and the spacing allows for sand to sit in-between the tiles for a porous solution and product stability.
