"My order was placed and very quickly the 18mm matting was fitted together with a thinner mat in the milking pit.  The cowman was very concerned that the cows would not come into the parlour but his fears were completely unfounded.  From the first milking, with the mats fitted, the cows entered the parlour freely, quickly and did not require the cowman leaving the pit at all.  The fidgeting and unease when being milked stopped making a far more pleasant job for the cowman.  On entering the parlour it is not unusual to see 80-90% chewing the cud.

The foot problems have not vanished but we are seeing a 30-40% reduction in heel ulcers since the mats have been fitted.  All in all the parlour/collecting yard matting is one of our best investments and when funds become available I would envisage doing more of the collecting yard and perhaps some of the feeding passages."
