Against the trend of large-scale, refined breeding, husbandry comfort and safety are key to breeding efficiency. Rubber husbandry mats, with high durability, anti-slip performance and easy cleanability, have become essential for modern breeding. Core products include horse, cow and pig mats, tailored to respective breeding scenarios. They precisely address breeding pain points, protect livestock growth and boost the industry's quality and efficiency.
Ⅰ.Horse Pads: Protect Hooves and Prevent Sliding, Adapt to the Nature of Galloping
Focusing on "adapting to the nature of horses and solving breeding pain points", rubber horse pads combine material advantages and scenario needs to form an exclusive protection system, which can be specifically divided into two core highlights:
-
Material Advantage: Adopting high-elastic wear-resistant rubber with uniform thickness and good toughness, it can bear long-term trampling by horses without deformation, buffer the impact force on hooves, reduce damage and lower consumable costs.
-
Design Highlight: The anti-slip lines on the surface can prevent horses from slipping, and it is waterproof, stain-resistant and easy to clean, which can keep the stable dry, reduce the growth of bacteria and ensure the comfort and safety of horses.
Horse pads are crafted from high-elastic rubber with uniform thickness and great toughness, effectively buffering hoof impact during running and standing, reducing hoof damage
and arthritis—ideal for racehorses, draft horses and other high-activity horses.
The wear-resistant, anti-aging material resists deformation from long-term trampling, extending service life and cutting breeding consumable costs. Its anti-slip textured surface prevents slips even in wet conditions for horse safety. Waterproof and stain-resistant, it allows easy cleaning of manure and sewage, keeping stables dry and tidy, inhibiting bacterial growth, and ensuring horses stay in good condition in a comfortable environment.
Ⅱ.Cow Pads: Wear-Resistant and Load-Bearing, Guard Lactation and Breeding
Aiming at the breeding characteristics of cattle standing for a long time and having large body weight, rubber cow pads focus on "wear resistance, load-bearing + practicality and
convenience", adapt to the two major breeding scenarios of dairy cows and beef cattle, and their core advantages are divided into two aspects:
-
Load-Bearing and Wear-Resistant: Thick and compression-resistant material, resistant to rolling by cattle weight without deformation, relieves limb pressure, reduces hoof diseases and helps improve breeding benefits.
-
Convenient Maintenance: Thermal insulation adapts to four seasons, easy to flush and odorless, reduces cleaning workload, optimizes the cattle house environment and protects the health of cattle.
Thick, compression and wear-resistant, the rubber cow pad resists deformation from long-term cattle rolling, relieves limb pressure, and reduces laminitis and foot rot—boosting beef quality, extending dairy cow lactation and increasing breeding income. It also insulates against cold in winter and high temperatures in summer for year-round comfort. Waterproof, easy to clean and odorless, it cuts cleaning work, optimizes barn conditions and supports healthy cattle growth.
Ⅲ.Pig Pads: Scratch-Proof and Collision-Proof, Help Piglet Fattening
According to the needs of pigs in different growth stages, rubber pig pads implement phased protection, adapt to piglet breeding and fattening pig breeding, and their core functions are divided into two parts:
-
Piglet Protection: The pad material is soft, skin-friendly and cold-resistant, which reduces diarrhea and frostbite of piglets, is safe and odorless, and improves the survival rate.
-
Fattening Protection: The pad material is wear-resistant and scratch-proof, with a smooth surface and easy cleaning, which improves the hygiene of the pig house, reduces diseases and lowers losses.
Piglet pads are soft, skin-friendly and cold-resistant, reducing diarrhea and frostbite, boosting survival rates with a warm environment. The safe, odorless material won’t irritate piglets’ delicate skin for healthy development. Finishing pig pads feature wear and scratch resistance, withstanding pigs’ arching, biting and trampling to prevent damage and bacterial growth. Their smooth, feces-resistant surface is easy to clean, improving pig house hygiene, reducing disease spread, safeguarding fattening and slaughter, and cutting breeding losses.
Ⅳ.Summary: Three Types of Rubber Animal Husbandry Pads, Each with Its Focus on Protecting Livestock and Poultry
Rubber horse, cow and pig pads are precisely adapted to the respective breeding scenarios of horses, cattle and pigs, with their core always centered on the three key demands of comfort, safety and efficiency. Horse pads focus on hoof protection and anti-slip performance to match horses’ athletic traits; cow pads prioritize wear resistance and load-bearing capacity in line with cattle’s weight and standing characteristics; pig pads feature stage-specific protection to meet the different needs of piglets and finishing pigs.
All three types share the universal advantages of durability, easy cleaning and simple maintenance. They comprehensively solve the pain points of traditional breeding pad materials, and lay a solid foundation for efficient and high-quality livestock and poultry breeding.
Ⅴ.Conclusion: Rubber Builds a New Line of Defense for Breeding, Improving Quality and Efficiency More Easily
Rubber horse, cow and pig husbandry pads, despite differing scenarios and functions, address the pain points of traditional breeding—easy pad damage, poor hygiene management and high livestock injury risk—with core strengths of practicality, durability and efficiency. They provide a safe, comfortable habitat for livestock, reduce diseases and breeding losses, lighten breeders’ workload, drive the industry’s shift to large-scale, refined and efficient development, and serve as an indispensable helper for modern breeding.
