Rubber Mats for Livestock

Rubber mats made from end-of-life tyres offer a durable, non-slip surface that improves livestock safety and reduces injuries in high-traffic or high-stress handling areas. These mats are particularly valuable in yards, laneways, loading ramps, and dairy sheds — anywhere livestock are at risk of slipping or falling.

An example of this application is Taurus Mats, which are manufactured by weaving together old four-wheel drive tyre treads and securing them with stainless steel bolts. The result is a tough, flexible mat that provides excellent grip and resilience under heavy use.

Key benefits:

• Non-slip surface reduces risk of livestock injury and stress
• Suitable for wet, muddy or uneven terrain
• Made from reused 4WD tyre treads, increasing durability
• Easy to install and maintain in working farm environments
• Supports circular economy outcomes by repurposing waste tyres

Rubber mats for livestock are an effective way to enhance animal welfare, productivity and property safety — while giving tyres a valuable second life on the farm.
