Dairymen
know that the true cost of bedding systems is a combination
of a product's price, its cost of installation and maintenance,
its life span, and its eventual disposal cost. Not to
be overlooked in this cost analysis is whether a cow
feels comfortable and safe on the bedding surface. Does
the bed encourage her to lie down? Is she comfortable?
Does the
bed relieve stress and promote milk production? Finally,
does the bedding system promote hygiene, and is it protective
of a cow's health? Is it warm in winter and cool in
summer? Will the bed become lumpy? Will liquids puddle
on it or be absorbed by it? Will the cushion encourage
bacterial growth?
The Insulaire
Cow Cushion is a dairyman's dream bedding system. It
derives its unequaled comfort and insulating properties
from its inner core of millions of impenetrable air
cells. These air cells eliminate the transfer of heat
away from the cow's body into a cold concrete sub floor.
In summer, they resist the retention of heat, making
the bed far cooler than other materials.
Although
it is over 50% air, the Insulaire Cushion does not absorb
liquids. The air cells are "closed." It is
the only cow bed system on the market of which we are
aware that has been approved by the USDA for use in
quarantine barn
applications.
The Insulaire
Cushion is very effective in the absorption of shock
which would otherwise be transferred into a cow's knees
as she lies down or stands up. She will not hesitate
to do either. This will encourage her to eat, drink,
and rest at will with no anxiety about having to stand
up or lie down. The bottomside SureFlow studs
provide an extra layer of insulation and drainage and
aeration capabilities. And the unique Bubble Top surface
further aids in impact absorption, scuff resistance,
efficient surface drainage and ease of cleaning. From
top to bottom, and every point in between, the Insulaire
outperforms every other dairy bed or mattress in comfort
and hygiene. We guarantee it!
Warranted
to provide at least three years of useful service in
tie stalls and five years in free stalls, the Insulaire
Cow Cushion is state-of-the-art technology working hard
for dairymen. As easy to install on a frigid winter's
evening as it is on a delightful summer's day, the Insulaire
is as kind to the dairymen who manage them as they are
comfortable to the cows that use them.
