Did you know that cows lie down for an average of 12 to 14 hours a day? A comfortable bedding is therefore very important for the well-being and productivity of your cows. The more comfortably a cow lies, the more it chews its cud and the more it produces, while at the same time guaranteeing the cow's well-being.
DSD Barn Direction offers various options for cubicle coverings. The right cubicle covering must fit your stable and your cows, but it is also equally important that it suits you as a livestock farmer.
Our specialists are happy to look at the possibilities with you, contact us for a visit without any obligation!
A cow quickly realizes what she likes and what she doesn't like. An inviting cubicle covering will therefore ensure fully occupied rows of cubicles. DSD offers you various options to suit your stable and your wishes.
The AUC waterbed is the pinnacle of cubicle cover: a latex mattress with a water-filled rubber bed that molds perfectly to the cow. Moreover, the drain is very easy to keep clean.
The DSD Pacific waterbed is a very comfortable water-filled bed with a compartment per cow of 1,5 cm thick. Made of dimensionally stable quality rubber that drains liquids well.
Litter as stable bedding is, if possible, the oldest form of keeping animals. The deep litter cubicle has been adapted to the latest standards for animal welfare and comfort and can be combined with different types of cubicle filling.
The Innova lounger gives all cattle a wonderfully soft bed. Composed of a 3,5 cm thick latex mattress with a durable rubber top layer for a bed of 4 cm thick in total. Also available for young cattle and calves.
This soft lounger is no less than 5 cm thick in total. The construction of a thick, springy latex mattress and a wear-resistant rubber top layer ensure a permanently resilient bed with good lying comfort.
This high-quality rubber mat of 20 mm thick offers a nice bedding for cows due to the unique stud profile at the bottom, which provides more suspension.
Even the most comfortable lounger will be less attractive to lie on if the cubicle divider is not the correct size.
A box that is too tight will prevent the cow from lying down. If she does lie down, it will be forced and will become trapped and could lead to injuries. The correct cubicle separation is therefore at least as important as the cubicle covering.
Every stable is different. That is why we stand for a tailor-made approach for every stable. Our cubicle specialists are happy to come to your stable to determine which solution best suits your situation.
