Cow-Welfare Flex Stalls™

Cow-Welfare Flex Stalls™ is designed to promote both animal welfare and the farmers’ earnings

In recent years, there have been made many studies in order to define the optimum rest position of the cows in the stable.. In these reports, researchers have been looking at the form and dimensions of the cubicles, which all have been conceived in the traditional boxes.

Cow-Welfare™ has opposed this idea. We went out into the field and have taken basis on the animal’s normal lying position. Therefore the idea of flexible cubicles came up for some years ago.

Since the introduction of the first Flex Stalls at the end of 2007 it has gone very fast., From the first shows around the world in 2008 where Cow-Welfare ™ has won several prizes for best new product, until today where patents have been published in more or less all countries where cows are milked..

HOW COW-WELFARE FLEX STALLS™ WORKS

HOW COW-WELFARE FLEX STALLS™ WORKS

The lower flexible plastic tube is guiding the cow, when it is laying down. At the same time the inclined angle of the plastic tube, is giving the cow plenty of space for the head, and is helping the cow in the back to get down in the right position, so the laying position will not be askew as in traditional cubicles.

The upper right plastic tube is helping to guide the cow, when it goes up and down from the cubicle, and it also prevents the cow from turning in the cubicle.

The neck rail is – just like all other parts from the Cow-Welfare Flex Stalls™ – made of a soft plastic material, which is a pleasant flexible solution for cow. Cows which are new in the herd, or cows which are otherwise trying to escape through the cubicle, will not break their back or suffer other serious injuries which you may see in the traditional cubicles, owing to the soft and flexible plastic.

FLEXIBILITY AND SIMPLE INSTALLATION

FLEXIBILITY AND SIMPLE INSTALLATION

The unique design of the system makes, it equally suitable for both calves and cows as for small and large breeds. If you eg. after a few months wishes to change the position of the cow, both the vertical plastic pipe and the neck rail can be adjusted to the requirements of the cow. This means that the farmers are always able to adjust Cow-Welfare Flex Stalls™, so the cow will get optimal conditions – for the benefit of both the farmer and the cow.
