Trusted Traction Milling Solutions for Dairy Barns
AGRI-TRAC has been dedicated to improving dairy barn flooring solutions since 1976. Our patented Traction Milling process was developed in response to the challenges faced by dairy farmers dealing with slippery concrete surfaces that compromise animal health and productivity. We specialize in creating safer, more hygienic flooring systems that reduce lameness, prevent hoof injuries, and enhance overall herd comfort. Our team works with both new and existing barn structures, offering tailored solutions for grooved, imprinted, and pre-cast slat flooring systems. With over 6.7 million square feet of installed flooring across North America, we maintain strict bio-security protocols and use proprietary equipment that preserves structural integrity while maximizing traction.Our pricing model focuses on actual work area dimensions rather than arbitrary measurements, ensuring fair valuation for our services. Backed by partnerships with pre-cast slat manufacturers and extensive field testing, our process represents the only flooring solution that maintains warranty compliance while delivering measurable improvements in animal welfare and farm profitability.

Services
Traction Milling
Our patented concrete texturing process creates 360-degree anti-slip surfaces for dairy barn flooring. This specialized milling technique removes smooth surfaces while maintaining structural integrity, providing consistent traction that reduces lameness and hoof injuries. The process works on both new installations and existing problematic flooring systems.
Grooved Flooring
We transform traditional grooved flooring surfaces by eliminating the 'slip and catch' mechanism that causes hoof trauma. Our process creates uniform traction across 95% of floor surfaces compared to conventional grooving's 10-20% coverage, significantly improving animal safety and reducing bacterial retention.
Imprinted Flooring
Our specialized milling addresses imprinted flooring issues by removing uneven surfaces that create unstable footing. The process creates a more level, consistent texture that maintains traction while reducing hoof wear, improving both animal comfort and long-term flooring durability.
Pre-Cast Slat Flooring
We've developed specific milling parameters approved by pre-cast slat manufacturers. Our low-vibration, precision-depth cutting preserves structural strength while creating optimal traction surfaces. This solution maintains warranty compliance while addressing the glassy, slippery surfaces common in slat flooring systems.
Bio-Security Clean-Up
Our comprehensive clean-up process follows strict bio-security protocols to prevent cross-contamination between sites. Using specialized equipment and procedures, we ensure barn environments are left cleaner than found while removing all milling residue, maintaining hygiene standards critical for livestock health.
Questions
How does AGRI-TRAC traction milling improve cow health?
Our 360-degree anti-slip texture reduces lameness by 95% compared to traditional methods. This prevents hoof trauma, bacterial infections, and improves overall herd mobility and productivity.
What makes AGRI-TRAC different from grooving?
Unlike directional grooving that only covers 10-20% of surfaces, our process textures 95% of flooring areas. This eliminates the 'slip and catch' mechanism that causes hoof damage while maintaining easier cleaning.
Can you work with existing barn flooring?
Yes, we specialize in retrofitting existing grooved, imprinted, and pre-cast slat flooring systems. Our process transforms problematic surfaces into safe, durable traction solutions without structural compromise.
Do you service both Canadian and US farms?
We operate across Canada from Atlantic to Pacific and maintain offices in Pennsylvania and the Midwest United States to serve North American dairy operations.
How is pricing determined for AGRI-TRAC services?
We calculate costs based on actual work area dimensions (edge of cut to edge of cut) with all clean-up included. This transparent model avoids arbitrary measurements or hidden fees.
Is the process approved by flooring manufacturers?
Yes, our low-vibration, precision-depth milling is the only method approved for use on pre-cast slat flooring that maintains manufacturer warranties while improving traction.
