Cubicles – what do cows want?

Happy cows are productive cows! The key is to ensure every aspect of management and cow environment is set up to make the most of the cow’s natural behaviour. Closely monitoring your cows and their behaviour will ‘tell’ you whether your facilities could be modified to further meet their needs. This dairy insight explores what you need to look out for in order to establish what works for your cows and where changes can be made to your cubicle sheds to improve cow comfort, welfare, production and ultimately profitability.
