Stress-free cows, happier farmer🧑‍🌾🐄
A stress-free cow brings many benefits: more milk, better feed intake, healthier animals, stronger hoof health, and a longer productive lifespan🐮

But just as important: enjoying the work. A healthy herd means fewer problems in the barn, less stress, and more efficient work for the farmer🧑‍🌾

Healthy cows create a calmer barn and make daily farm life a whole lot better🐄

Rumen fill is an important indicator of cow comfort. Cows that have difficulty getting up tend to lie down longer and visit the feed front less frequently🐮

The result? Lower feed intake and therefore insufficient rumen fill🌾

Keep a close eye on:
✅ Do cows visit the feed front often?
✅ Is rumen fill adequate?

By staying alert to these signs, you can detect problems early and improve the welfare and productivity of your herd🐄🌾

Een signaal van koecomfort is de pensvulling. Koeien die moeilijk opstaan blijven langer liggen en komen minder vaak aan het voerhek🐮

Het gevolg? Een lagere voeropname en dus onvoldoende pensvulling🌾

Houd daarom goed in de gaten:
✅ Gaan koeien vaak genoeg naar het voerhek?
✅ Is de pensvulling goed?

Door hier alert op te zijn, kun je problemen vroeg signaleren en het welzijn en de productie van je koppel verbeteren🐄🌾

🐄⚠️ Cows lying down too long? Pay attention to cow comfort!
A healthy cow lies down for 12-14 times a day and gets up regularly. When cows stand up less often, it may indicate that something is wrong!

Possible causes:
🛌 Small cubicles
👞 Poor grip when standing up
🐾 Hoof problems

This can lead to reduced water and feed intake, damaged or swollen hocks and lower activity and reduced milk production🐮

A short cubicle doesn’t just make it less comfortable for cows to lie down, it can also contribute to heat stress🌡️

With limited head space, cows are less able to dissipate heat through breathing, causing them to retain heat more quickly🌞

Want to prevent heat stress? Extra length in the cubicles can make a real difference!📏

Een korte ligbox maakt het voor koeien niet alleen minder comfortabel om te liggen, maar kan ook bijdragen aan hittestress🌡️

Door beperkte kopruimte kunnen koeien hun warmte minder goed kwijt via de ademhaling, waardoor ze sneller warmte vasthouden🌞

Hittestress voorkomen? Meer lengte in de ligboxen kan verschil maken!📏

When cows are comfortable, they rest more💤
The more they lie down, the less pressure is on their hooves, this keeps their hooves healhier🐾
Healthier hooves start with better comfort. Start here, and you’ll see the difference🐄

𝗥𝗲𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗴𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗰𝗸 𝗯𝗮𝗿𝗻🐮🍼
Four years ago, when Ritske Reitsma took over his parents’ dairy farm, he completely renovated the youngstock barn, creating more structure and smaller groups🐮

✔️ More rest and better overview
✔️ Improved growth monitoring
✔️ Greater animal comfort

📈 Result: calving age reduced from 26 to 23 months and much more consistent rearing.

💬 “You notice it in everything: the animals are calmer, you have better overview, and everything simply works more smoothly. Raising youngstock has truly become enjoyable.”
