Grober Green

This was the flooring profile invented in 2000 at Grober after many experiments, for use with calves housed inside.

The profile is such for maximum foot support, but at the same time allowing calf excreted products to not block the spaces.

The  8 X4 sheet shown here is made of totally recycled materials that are extruded to make “polyboard”. The holes are then laser cut using the profile in the photo.

The sub flooring was also made of  recyled materials, basically 8 foot 2X4′s running across. These were then laid on piers also made of 2X4′s  running the length of the barn.

Various protypes were tested and finally this product was installed in  a new  Grober group housing barn built in 2000 with 1000 calves penned into 16 rooms.

There some problems due to mistakes made in floor assembly that have caused various problems and the perfect flooring is still in developement.
