Dairy Milking Parlors
The right dairy facility flooring helps create a healthy, happy home for cows, maximizing production and revenue for businesses. Dairy milking parlor owners need epoxy flooring and coatings to ensure their operations run smoothly and efficiently. With Florock’s full range of multiple resin technologies, we can offer the best long-term flooring durability and superior lifecycle value for facilities, helping to protect workers and animals.
Creating a Comfortable Environment for Cattle
Those in the dairy business know that comfortable, healthy animals produce more milk. How can flooring help? Facility owners realize that it is imperative to their operation to keep animals injury-free, and uneven, cracked surfaces can cause lameness or other harm. If animals need to recover from injuries, they can lose weight and produce less milk. Epoxy floor coatings can reduce the likelihood of harm and help keep animals healthy. The right epoxy floor coating in a milk parlor can reduce wear and tear on cows’ hooves, while simultaneously providing a safe, slip-resistant walking surface.
Our dairy facility flooring has other advantages as well, including:
- Imperviousness to milk, lactic acid and water
- Outstanding scratch, abrasion and impact resistance
- Impressive point load capacity
- Option of antimicrobial FloroSeptic protection throughout the depth of the flooring material. FloroSeptic creates conditions that bacteria and fungi find inconducive to growth and propagation.
- Very easy maintenance with steam-cleanable options available
- Moisture-tolerant dairy flooring options
Safety & Protection for Livestock
When it comes to dairy facility flooring, milking parlor owners must make sure their flooring system supports sanitation protocols, in order to keep cows healthy and milk production hygienic. Our USDA-compliant poured flooring is virtually seamless and without grout lines where germs and mold can hide, making it an ideal option for parlors. Our formaldehyde-free formulas produce no outgassing after full cure, contributing to overall better air quality for animals and humans.
Areas That Can Benefit From Epoxy Floor Coatings
A large percentage of a dairy farmer’s income is dependent upon activities taking place in his or her milking center. For optimal dairy parlor output, the farmer must address concerns for the welfare and safety of both workers and cows. Well-selected epoxy flooring can play an important role in milking center spaces like:
- Milking parlors
- Milkhouses/tank rooms
- Utility areas/supply rooms
- Medicine areas
- Holding areas
- Waste disposal areas
- Separation/treatment areas
- Calf ration preparation rooms
- Animal loading facilities/loading docks
- Wash/drip areas
- Hospital areas
- Maternity and springing cow areas
- Offices
- Worker comfort areas
- General storage
