Cowcoon stall divider For cows

In the past 20 years advances in dairy housing technology has led to doubling the hours cows spend resting in their stalls. This has delivered higher milk yields & lower lameness.

Increasing the time cows spend in contact with the stall divider often results in spinal lesions, affecting the locomotion of the cow and eventually impacting upon lameness. The unique open fronted Cowcoon design with its flexible lower tube ensures that cows rest straighter and not under the stall divisions, ensuring an injury free rest period, with cows unable to defecate or urinate on the beds, resulting in clean cows.

A polyethylene tube on the lower body of the stall partition guides the cow, offering ductile support to her body thus hugging the cow, ensuring that she rests securely, comfortably and without the risk of bruising or swelling commonly associated with all steel partitions.

Research

Research from the Liverpool University Veterinary Department shows that all cases of back injury 4 months after replacing existing stalldivider by Cowcoons have completely disappeared.

• Flexible lower tube
• Lower polyethylene tube removes corrosion
• Acts as a shock absorber alleviating stress on the front mountings and the cow
• A cow feels safer
