Brush Up on Cow Comfort

Keeping your herd clean and comfortable can improve your herd’s productivity. One of the easiest ways to consistently ensure this is to invest in a cow brush. Cow brushes come with many benefits for both you and the cow.

While brushes groom the cow, dirt and debris is removed, ensuring a cleaner coat. Having a clean coat is essential for cow comfort and welfare. Swinging cow brushes are better able to groom the cow all over. By keeping cows clean, their bodies are more capable of successfully cooling.

Just like we get massages (if you have time for that), the same result occurs with cows and a brush. It works to encourage healthy blood circulation. This improves overall cow health, and in return, improves overall herd performance.

On your end of the investment, cow brushes are easy to maintain and keep clean. They also promote correct cow traffic flow in the barn. Brushes have low energy consumption which means you won’t see too much of an increase in your electricity bill.

Brushes strive for comfort, and as we all know – comfortable cows are productive cows.
