In November 2015, the Prins Dairy Farm (Netherlands) was one of the first dairy farms where the Agriprom Gel mattress was installed. The newly built barn originally had deep litter beds, but because this required too much physical labor Prins decided to install the gel mattress for the dry cows and heifers.
Meanwhile, the gel mattress is more than a year old and still meets all expectations: “We like this system very much. The daily maintenance requires less time than than the deep litter boxes. The gel mattress is very convenient to clean” according to Prins. The pictures show that the cows enjoy the Gel mattress as well.
