1. Resting in the stall<br />
When selecting cubicles <strong>for</strong> dairy cows, the well-being<br />
of the cows and efficient operation of the stall must<br />
be considered equally measures if a profitable milk<br />
yield is to be achieved. In addition, legal regulations<br />
which specify the minimum space requirements must<br />
be observed. <strong>GEA</strong> <strong>Farm</strong> <strong>Technologies</strong> cubicles combine<br />
maximum use of the space available, while at the same<br />
time increasing the standards of com<strong>for</strong>t <strong>for</strong> the dairy<br />
cow. For cubicle division frames, our <strong>range</strong> includes the<br />
high-quality Royal De Boer products.<br />
In the design of our cubicles we have taken into account the natural movement patterns of the cows and ensured<br />
that hygiene measures can be carried out without restriction. Results demonstrate that yields can be increased and<br />
consolidated with the use of <strong>GEA</strong> <strong>Farm</strong> <strong>Technologies</strong> cubicles. The mainfeatures include:<br />
• Space <strong>for</strong> <strong>for</strong>ward movements: plenty of room at the<br />
front enables problem-free movements, in particular<br />
when standing up<br />
• Freedom from barriers: an unobstructed design at the<br />
front avoids knocks<br />
• Animal-friendly guidance: through the use of a brisket<br />
board and optimal placement of the neck bar<br />
• Safety: non-slip area <strong>for</strong> a secure stance<br />
• Protection of the joints: a soft surface to lie on, in<br />
order to prevent bruising and joint injuries<br />
