New time lapse recording from 12th January 2012.
Interesting to watch the cows during different 1 hour long periods through out the day.
Filmed 12th January 2012 - Norfolk -UK
116 cow building with 18ft doubles and 9ft singles on 3ft9inch centers. These are all floor mounted C50 cubicles with Pasture Mat mattresses, Premium Pad and Poly Pillows. Also Wilson Ag wall mounted tip over water troughs.
Timelapse: 1 second = 1 minute
Filmed:
4am to 5am
9am to 10am
2pm to 3pm
7pm to 8pm
0am to 1am on 13th.
This is an attempt to show consistent cow behaviour throughout the day. Even at night the cows use the cubicles really well. This building is providing a high level of comfort and is a good environment for the dairy herd.
New to our product range for 2011 is our ZigZag Rubber Belting.
ZigZag rubber belting is a new product designed for dairy housing floors. This is a 20mm rubber with heavy steel cables throughout. This means it will not stretch and hugs the floor.
Benefits of ZigZag rubber belting:
Major Reduction in foot and leg lesions and soreness
Reduces Fatigue from standing on concrete
Increases cow performance and longevity
Used at the feed barrier, cows will spend more time eating, resulting in higher milk production
Reduced hoof trimming and doctoring
