AGRI-TRAC - Traction Milling

Determine Which AGRI-TRAC Application Best Suits Your Needs
Depending on your barn flooring needs, we are able to:

• Create a completely new floor finish for you, OR
• Work with you to improve your existing floor.

NEW BUILD

• AGRI-TRAC Traction Milling is an ideal way to start off your new barn floor surfaces as it:
• Provides 360 degree anti-slip traction
• Maintains a solid floor finish that does not house manure, resulting in a reduction of bacteria
• Positive traction aids in PREVENTION of delamination, white line abscesses, and interdigital strains caused by grooving
• Provides confidence in footing by supporting heat detection & preventing falls in stressing situations
• Doing it right the first time saves $$$ and saves having to fix the issues brought on by other floor finishes

OVER GROOVED FLOORING

• Do you have grooved flooring in your barn? Compare the differences between grooved floors and Traction Milling:
• Grooved floors work as a reactive measure on a slip-and-catch principle
• Grooved floor only works when the cow is in the direction of the groove, making it reliant on the hoof catching the groove edge to prevent a slip from continuing
• Reactive catch is known to cause whiteline abscesses & delamination of the hoof
• Diamond groove floor holds approximately 2 gallons of manure 10 sq. ft
• Grooved flooring holds more bacteria, which can lead to digital dermatitis & other hoof diseases
• VS THE AGRI-TRAC METHOD
• Traction Milling machines a textured finish to flat areas between the grooves, creating a preventative slip surface
• Traction Milling eliminates/minimizes the impact of slip and catch
• Traction Milling provides even hoof wear, where the rate of wear is less than the rate of growth

OVER IMPRINTED FLOORING

• Do you have imprinted flooring in your barn? Compare the differences between imprinted floors and Traction Milling:
• Imprinted floors work on a slip-and-catch principle, similar to grooved floors
• Imprinted floors are created while the cement is wet
• This method displaces the cement while imprinting the shape, which causes a doming effect on the surface
• The domed surface creates an unstable effect and decreases cow comfort
• VS THE AGRI-TRAC METHOD
• Traction Milling levels off the floor and provides an overall more level & stable footing surface
• Traction Milling helps to reduce the slip-and-catch with a preventative 360 degree anti-slip surface
• This provides confidence in footing while improving hoof health and lameness prevention

PRE-CAST SLAT FLOORING

• Do you have pre-cast slat flooring in your barn? See how Traction Milling can help you:
• Traction Milling was developed specifically for use on slat flooring
• Our application was developed in conjunction with slat floor manufacturers who were experiencing a glassy, slippery surface
• Our flooring has been approved for use by slat floor manufacturers based on low vibrations and minimal depth of cut
• Traction Milling ensures minimal loss of structural strength and no sub-structural cracking based on the depth of the cut
