A Rational Decision For Northbank Station Deer
Background
Having used Numat product at a previous property, the couple was keen to avoid the devastating effects of damaged hooves by installing rubber matting in the deer sheds.
“If deer get tears or damage to their feet, straight away you’ve lost an animal,”says Sharon.
“You can’t treat them. Deer can’t handle it like a sheep or cow can.”
The Solution
By installing UniMat, the couple has safeguarded not only the welfare of the animals but also their own sanity. Running 500 deer through a shed made of solid steel and a concrete floor is a recipe for deafening noise, panic, and stress. With UniMat, the working day is much more pleasant for everyone involved.
“The thick rubber matting makes it a lot quieter in the deer shed.”– Sharon Waite
Installation
The couple was also
“very impressed”with the installation process. Installation took just three days to lay matting in the shed, loading ramps, and weighing area, as well as improve the drainage system.
Outcomes
Ensuring less noise, less skidding, and less damage to animals at every stage, Numat matting has made a dramatic improvement to operations.
