Aquastar Ultimate Combi waterbed cubicle cover
The Aquastar Ultimate Combi (AUC) waterbed is the pinnacle of cubicle cover: a latex mattress with a water-filled rubber bed that molds perfectly to the cow. Excessive luxury? Certainly not.
A cow naturally prefers to spend her time lying down as much as possible. The more a cow lies down, the more she chews the cud and the more milk she can produce. The best cubicle covering is therefore in the interest of the cow and you, the farmer. With the AUC waterbed the cow will lie down for 14 to 16 hours a day.
What is the AUC waterbed?
The Aquastar Ultimate Combi waterbed offers comfort for cow and farmer. It consists of a latex mattress in foil, on which a waterbed with a rubber top layer is placed. The whole is about 7cm thick, with a unique profile that allows liquids to drain easily. A water-filled knee roll can be placed optionally. The whole is mounted seamlessly in the stable.
The rubber is ultra-strong and contains double-woven textile: it does not stretch, does not form holes and always springs back. That is why you get a 15-year warranty on the AUC waterbeds and a 6-year warranty on the knee roller.
The advantages of the Aquastar Ultimate Combi waterbed
The seamless rubber surface provides a comfortable base that the cow will enjoy lying on. It provides sufficient grip, adapts to the cow, is gentle on knees and hocks and does not chafe. It offers optimal pressure distribution and perfect blood circulation. This prevents injuries and bald heels.
Also, it is very easy and quick to clean, which is hygienic and efficient. You will therefore spend less time keeping the cubicles clean. You will also experience significantly less mastitis and milk leakage.
The water-filled knee roll is highly appreciated by cows. It is the only type of knee roll that conforms to the cow. The size of the knee roll can be adjusted to the size of your livestock.
