Levelling a feeding alley yourself
One of the main benefits of levelling a worn feeding alley is that it improves feed intake. An uneven feed passage can cause old feed to accumulate in certain places. This can lead to poor feed intake among animals, with possible weight loss, reduced growth and non-optimal milk production. By levelling the feeding alley, feed is distributed cleanly and evenly and all animals have equal opportunity to eat.
Farmcoat Levelling Coating is extremely suitable for levelling, renovating and repairing your feeding alley. In the process, it provides a very hard, impact-resistant and resilient layer. Farmcoat Levelling Coating has been specially developed to be very user-friendly. Processing is very easy to do yourself without compromising on quality.

Project: feed passage coating – Vriezeveen
In Vriezeveen, Farmcoat was recently applied to a new feed passage. Following an on-site visit by our technical adviser, we were able to make an appropriate recommendation suitable for this substrate. As the feed passage had not yet been worn in, we were able to recommend a thin chemically resistant and mechanically resistant layer. As the substrate was made of trowelled concrete, we recommended sanding the concrete layer first. The primer and grey coating were then applied in a day. The farmer was easily able to handle all this himself. To maintain a sleek finish, the feed passage was first neatly marked out with tape.
How long does it take to apply a feed passage coating?
Preparation takes the most time. The feed passage should be cleaned thoroughly first. After cleaning, it may be necessary to sand the floor, depending on the situation. After preparing the floor, you can start coating. The coating should be left to dry/cure for about 12 hours. The entire process of preparation, coating and curing, will take approx. one to one-and-a-half days. After that, you can start feeding your livestock again.
In what colours is the coating available?
Our coatings are offered transparent or in RAL 7001 (grey) as standard. From a minimum order of 50 kg, you can choose any RAL or NCS colour. This is custom-made in our factory.
Does the coating have anti-slip properties?
The coating offers a rough yet smooth finish. If you need an extra anti-slip finish, or even a very coarse anti-slip surface (for cattle to walk on), we can offer this on a customised basis.
How thick is the coating to be applied?
The feed passage coating can be applied in very thick layers. Assume that you will need up to 4 kilos per square metre. For very worn substrates, it has a levelling effect.
Is it easy to apply yourself?
Farmcoat is designed so that it can be easily applied by laymen/inexperienced persons. We supply detailed instructions with every order as standard, clearly describing the steps needed to apply the coating. We also post various instructional videos online.
Which accessories do I need?
We offer a Farmcoat Application Pack on the website (see accessories heading). This pack contains all the materials you need for coating, such as rollers, mixing paddle, handles, ADP cleaner, etc.
