More animal welfare & less work

Consistently high milk yield requires animal-friendly housing methods.

Regarding the lying areas, this means comfortable, non-slip and clean cubicles in which the cows like to spend more than half the day in a relaxed position. This protects the joints, relieves the claws and thus increases animal welfare.

Tips for maintenance

Spread a small amount of bedding on the lying mats
› e.g. soft milled straw or mineral material
(moisture in the lying area, among other things, plays a major role in the development of skin diseases and infections)
Treatment with a high-pressure cleaner as well as with standard cleaning agents is possible
