Enhancing Livestock Comfort & Welfare

Our reinforced design has a high-grip profile and comes with a 5-year warranty.

This patented product has an easy-to-fit rubber wedge underside and is made from the highest quality natural rubber compound.

Our slatted rubber floor covering has been designed to fit old and new concrete slats.

    • In 2002, we installed the first shed of EASYFIX Slat Rubber and they are still in excellent condition. We installed another 400m2 cattle finishing shed with EASYFIX Slat Rubber Mats in 2016. We could not manage to finish cattle without the EASYFIX Slat Rubber system.
