More lying space for your cows

The right cubicle size is of great importance for the cow. Only with a box that is spacious and comfortable, she will lie happily, comfortably and for a long time. By nature, a cow prefers to lie down as much as possible, and this also benefits rumination and therefore milk production.

Over the years, the average dairy cow has become increasingly larger, making it less comfortable for her to lie in stables designed for slightly smaller cows. The guide bar is a simple solution to make your cubicles more spacious and allow the cows to lie straight in the box.

Renovation without major investment

The guide bar is perfect for adapting older stables to the modern dairy cow without a major investment. The guide wither beam can be installed to replace the old wither beam or even part of your cubicles.

The guide bar improves the comfort of large cows because it increases the length of the cubicle. The wavy tree prevents the cow from walking out of the box at the front, but does provide space to lie down and stand comfortably.

In addition, the pointed shape of the guide bar ensures that the cow lies as straight as possible in the box, making optimal use of the space.

Guide wither beam for new stables

The guide bar is also perfect for use in new stables and stables where new cubicles are being installed. Here too, the guide wither beam offers efficient use of space and perfect straight guidance of the cow.

Options for the guide wither beam

The guide beam is available as standard for box widths from 110 cm to 120 cm. The guide beam beams are custom-made for your stable in our own workshop, after which they are galvanized in accordance with NEN for a sustainable result.

Satisfied farmers tell

"DSD was able to carry out the entire renovation in-house, which is why I chose them. Moreover, the improvements, such as the addition of the feeding sidewalk, were very much appreciated."  > Read more

Willem Beltman from Bellingwolde

"We have decided to switch to better fans because of the increasingly warmer summers. With these new fans we blow fresh air from outside straight through the stable, which is more pleasant for people and animals."  > Read more

Hans Peter Vogel from Tijnje

"We noticed that on warm, windless days, our roof insulation and side wall ventilation was not enough to keep the cows comfortable. You notice that the HVLS fans can provide that extra bit of cooling."  > Read more

Marije Reijenga from Harich

"We had cows that stood too much and saw a lot of thick heels. Immediately after installing the AUC Waterbeds, the stalls were fully occupied and I saw far fewer thick heels. The waterbeds are more than worth the investment."  > Read more

Bart de Kruijf from Werkhoven

"When building my new stable, I opted for a complete DSD design. 11 years later, everything is still in perfect condition. When I wanted to invest in fans two years ago, I immediately knew where I wanted to buy them."  > Read more

Erwin Matthezing from Assen

"When I invested in two milking robots, I also had to renovate the stable. I chose Ster cubicles and AUC waterbeds because of the 15-year warranty, which gives confidence. It is clear that the cows lie down and get up easily." > Read more

André Baars from St. Jacobi parish

"In retrospect, I should have opted for the Innova cow bed much earlier. The years of experience of DSD stable equipment with this box covering was the deciding factor for me. They now lie much faster, easier and more, which indicates that they are enjoying themselves."  > Read more

Gert Jan Neef

"Last month we had new boxes and new cow mattresses installed in our stables by DSD stable furnishings. It was ready in 3 days. We are very satisfied and it turned out super neat."
