Introduction
Healthy cows are crucial for every dairy farm. A healthy herd of animals contributes to a healthy business. In this way dairy farmers can focus on a sustainable, profitable and enjoyable future. A healthy cow is stress-free, has enough space and can behave naturally. In order to stimulate natural behaviour, it is important that she is in charge of when she eats, drinks, rests or gets milked. This free cow traffic - along with the cow - is the essence of what we do.
Stress-free and productive
A healthy and stress-free cow is a productive cow. By giving cows freedom of movement and space, you reduce stress. Give her a place where she can rest and have easy access to fresh food and water, without losing sight of the other cows. With this freedom of movement, you induce natural behaviour and the cow in turn experiences less stress. Now she can keep to her own rhythm. This stimulates her activity and you see the results in the milk tank.
Feeding
Healthy rumination also stimulates the activity of your animals. Healthy rumination is the result of a proper feeding policy. By adjusting the feed to the nutritional requirements of the cow, you not only stimulate animal health but also fertility and productivity. A healthy and active cow moves more often to the feed fence and the milking robot.
In addition, optimal rumination stimulates the overall health of cows, which reduces the risk of diseases and infections.
