Comfortable Standing Surfaces Farming Note
Cows and concrete are a difficult combination. Despite the clear benefits of concrete for managing housed cows, it is not a very comfortable standing surface and can be hard on their feet and often slippery. There are options available however to improve both of these effects.
This Farming Note covers:
- The effects of concrete
- How to improve existing concrete and parlour standings
- A Bridge Farm case study
- Available products on the market
Issued May 2006.
