    What surprised me was that cows with hoofproblems did their utmost to conquer a spot on the Dutch Mountains after leaving the milking parlour. It looks they feel no pain anymore when they lie down.

    In our existing barn we replaced a few old mattresses for Dutch Mountains. It is remarkable that these stalls are occupied all the time regardless of whether I enter the barn during the day or at night.

FAQ’s

Below you will find answers on some frequently asked questions. Please call us in case your question is not listed.

  • The Dutch Mountain is 180 cm long and available in three different widths. If desired, the Dutch Mountain can be made to measure for you.

  • The Dutch Mountain is easy to install. The installation can be carried out by our own installation team. After the Dutch Mountain has been taken into use, the top cover must be tightened once more for two months.

  • Due to the increase in the number of lying hours, it is obvious that milk production will increase. We also expect that claw conditions will recover faster. In practice, cows with claw disorders have been found to lie down faster and longer on the Dutch Mountain, making the healing process faster.

    Due to the softness of the mattress in combination with the air permeable top cover, the chance of bare heels is expected to be minimal.

  • The Dutch Mountain has been developed from the needs of the cow. Although in recent years much has improved in the dimensions of the cubicle, we saw that in terms of comfort of the mattress, an improvement could be made so that cows would lie even faster. Thereby is a better grip when standing up without unnecessary loading of the rear claw is also included as an important aspect in the development of the Dutch Mountain
