Overview
MAGELLAN® 25 is a 25 mm draining rubber floor roll engineered for high-traffic dairy areas such as alleys, holding areas, milking parlours and robot access zones. Deep longitudinal grooves ensure continuous liquid evacuation, keeping hooves elevated from stagnant liquids and limiting ground moisture. The natural rubber compound provides cushioning to reduce pressure points, while a patented anti-slip surface profile improves traction on wet floors. Field assessments report up to 40% reduction in ammonia emissions, contributing to better barn air quality and hygiene.

Key benefits

• Dry hooves: continuous drainage reduces moisture exposure and lowers the risk of foot disorders (digital dermatitis, panaris, sole ulcers).
• Improved hoof health: cushioning and increased contact area reduce pressure points and help prevent lameness.
• Lower ammonia emissions: effective drainage can reduce NH₃ emissions by up to 40%.
• Animal comfort and detection: softer surface improves movement comfort and heat detection.
• Economic impact: documented potential production and income benefits (example: up to €20,000/year for a 100-cow farm).

Features

• Thickness: 25 mm designed to keep hooves dry, even with scraper passes approximately every 90 minutes.
• Continuous roll format with no longitudinal joints for easier cleaning and reduced bacterial growth.
• Compatible with straight and V-shaped scrapers; optional rubber fingers can be fitted to existing scrapers.
• Textile reinforcement for improved stability, wear resistance and tear strength.

Natural hoof function & comfort

• Flexibility close to natural ground to improve weight distribution and reduce chronic inflammation from hard surfaces.
• Groove spacing matched to typical hoof width to ensure secure footing in varying conditions.
• Patented anti-slip profile shaped for hoof contact.

Installation & maintenance

• Simple installation without major modification of existing equipment.
• Continuous roll design simplifies cleaning; regular scraper passes are recommended (≈90 min) to maintain dry hooves and hygiene.
