HOUSING FOR
DAIRY CATTLE (Cont.)
For the operator they include:
A design and construction that meets all general and local
requirements relating to building, sanitary, safety and
environmental regulations;
A system that is efficient in the handling (trad.tratament,
manipulare)of the cow, feed, milk and waste products;
A system that use capital efficiently for an economically
enterprise;
A system that is integrated into the total farm operation in
terms of its location in relation to other buildings, feed
storage, roads, utilities, and manure (trad.- ngrmnt
natural ) disposal (trad. aezare, dispunere).
HOUSING FOR
DAIRY CATTLE (Cont.)
The manner in which these requirements are met will
differ according to climate, farm organization, land values,
and markets.
For example where severe winters make a warm barn
desirable, satisfactory environmental conditions are more
easily maintained in a stable barn (trad. Grajd cu
inchideri perimetrale) than in a free-stall barn (trad.
Grajd deschis, fr nchideri perim.). There is little
evidence to indicate that warm barns influence milk
production or cow comfort, the only benefit is related to
worker comfort.
1. Floor Plan
Cows are nomadic animals and accustomed to doing things in groups, so comfortable
housing provides space for many group members to do the same thing, such as eat, at
the same time.
Feed delivery and pushup may have as much affect on cow comfort as feed space per
cow. Heres a reach index for fence-line feeding systems for mature Holstein cows:
They should be able to reach 42 inches from the cow side of the feed curb horizontally
to the most distant feed without any struggle. If cows must push hard against fence-line
feedhardware, theyre going to be uncomfortable.

Floor design
Aqua Dump
Studies have proven that cattle are healthier when
they have a clean supply of water available to them.
The unique design will flush all the grime and impurities
from the bottom of the tank.
Turn the tub upright and it will re-fill with fresh, clean water.
