The replacement was urgently needed, but was completed to a high degree of satisfaction

Willem Beltman's feeding fences were in dire need of replacement after 30 years. “I thought I had trapped a cow, I turned around and was able to chase it again! My welding machine had become indispensable.”

He chose DSD because we could carry out all his renovation wishes ourselves. “It is very nice that you poured the concrete for the walls yourself. Then you don't have to wait for different parties and coordinate everything."

The plan we had determined was to move the feeding fence 50cm and thus create a feeding sidewalk behind the feeding fence. “I thought, will a sidewalk like that really make that much of a difference? But you see that the manure scraper is much less stationary, because the cows only have to lift their hind legs to let the manure scraper pass. This makes a big difference, especially in busy places such as concentrate stations.” We have also replaced the drinking water supply from low pressure to high pressure. “You immediately see that the water is nice and clean and fresh with this system.”

Willem is also very pleased with the editing. “Everything went very smoothly and the work was done very neatly. The mechanics who came by were very good, hard-working guys.”

English self-closing feeding fence and diagonal feeding fence

Willem has opted for English self-closing feeding barriers for his dairy cattle and diagonal feeding barriers for his young cattle.

DSD has provided a stable layout that is pleasant for the cow and simple and convenient to use for Willem, through the right combination of fencing, gates and locks.

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."
