Equipment that offers a better than 100% return on investment is hard to come by, but not with Stanfield heat mats by Osborne. Get a complete return on investment in as little as 10 months with Stanfield heat mats, plus savings year after year from their low energy consumption, automatic temperature ramping capabilities, and little to no maintenance.

The initial investment in heat mats may be higher than heat lamps, but heat mats eliminate the recurring costs associated with heat lamps from broken bulbs and fixtures. Invest once in heat mats and get a lifetime of use with no consumables that require continual replacement. In fact, Stanfield heat mats typically outlast everything in the farrowing barn – sometimes even the barn itself!

Stanfield heat mats are manufactured with ultra-strong, flame- and water-resistant fiberglass-reinforced composite – a material superior to the cheap plastics some manufacturers use. Additionally, single-molded construction fully encapsulates the safe, low-temperature heating element, as opposed to the bulky, two-piece “shells” bonded together that others use. Two-piece construction inevitably allows for moisture leaks to the heating element, exposing both animals and their caretakers to dangerous and life-threatening electric shock. The superiority of Stanfield heat mats has earned virtually all worldwide electrical safety certifications, as well as the trust of countless producers across the globe for their most important animals.
