Teagasc Trial Data
It is widely known for years that cattle housed on slatted rubber mats have been shown to gain weight faster than animals housed on bare concrete slats. Teagasc carried out an intensive trial comparing 360 Beef Bullocks using; 3 different Slatted Rubbers, out-wintering Pads and bare concrete slats. The results from the Teagasc Trial on Slatted Rubber for 2006 & 2007 are summarised in the bar charts below. The Durapak mat is colour coded BLUE. Mat B & C are two well known competitor products. Durapak Slatted Rubber came out on top with 14kgs of extra carcass weight over and above bare concrete slats and together with a higher carcass classification was worth between €45 – €55 per head of animal.
The main reason that Durapak slatted Rubber out performed its competitors is because the product is softer, warmer and more comfortable than other similar products on the market. The earlier designed product had ‘square’ corners and were prone to damage by heavy animals.
