Cattle FETF number The work also revealed that cows in a pen with a mechanical brush increased their grooming time approximately five-fold compared to a pen without such a brush. The researchers concluded that a grooming device helps to satisfy the cow’s need for grooming while at the same time improving cow cleanliness. Both these factors (better ‘welfare’ and cleaner cows) may have an impact on disease occurrence and on milk production.

The simplest concept of all – one horizontal brush and one vertical brush – it’s so simple, so not uncommon for farmers to make their own. They certainly enrich the cow environment. It’s clear to see that cows get a lot of pleasure from the brushes. And the fact that there are also health benefits is the icing on the cake really – and another good reason to consider investing in brushes.” Metal platforms and ramps for poultry housing systems. Item may be used either within or immediately adjacent to the system to aid movement into and around aviary housing. Platforms and ramps must have slat holes or mesh for grip and ease of cleaning. Item must include all fixtures and fittings to attach to the housing system. Platforms and ramps made of wood are not eligible under this item. Cow flow can also suffer if there are too few brushes installed. “It can actually serve to create stress, rather improve cow welfare and comfort, if the brushes themselves are a ‘pinch point’. Cows queuing to use the brushes or dominant cows preventing others from using them may become an issue where are aren’t enough brushes to go around.” One mechanical brush should cater for between 50 and 60 cows: “That’s the limit – they will still work it hard and it will run for most of the day with that number of cows.”
