The Cosy Cow can turn either left or right, which prevents the bristles from standing in one direction. Install the brushes with sufficient clearance on both sides, avoiding entrance or exit areas and dead ends to prevent a cow stopping for a scratch causing a “cow-jam”. It’s a natural instinct. If cows are in a field they’ll rub up against hedges, gates, posts, trees – anything that offers some resistance,” says Dairy Spares’ Tim Evanson. Allowing cows to scratch also helps to stimulate circulation and has been shown to reduce stress, increasing the movement of animals around the barn and improving animal welfare in the process. Studies on swinging cow brushes, that looked at milk production and mastitis incidence. The US-based work showed that second-lactation cows produced 3.5% (1kg) higher daily milk yield.

Few things are more fascinating to watch than a cow having a good scratch while ‘playing’ with a brush. They enjoy grooming – it’s a natural behaviour that’s key to good health and welfare. This cattle scratching brush provides a safe, easy, economical way to let your cows have a good scratch. Static cow scratching brushes: Work has also shown that cows are more active in systems where brushes are fitted. “Particularly mechanical brushes,” says Mr Evanson. “Once cows have gone to groom themselves they are then more likely to visit the feed fence or the water trough. The brushes have been shown to increase milk yields in some cows.” Suitable for animals of different sizes, the static Texas cattle scratching brush provide an economical alternative to automatic cow brushes. They meet the requirements of Farm Assurance Schemes including Arla 360 contracts and are eligible for the Animal Health and Welfare grant FETF233A Static cow brush. All frame parts are zinc-plated and have been tested under the toughest conditions. We recommend pressure points are lubricated and brush rollers replaced as necessary to keep the brush working at maximum efficiency for many years.And ask any producer who has fitted brushes and they will tell you that the cows never leave them alone – they’re almost in constant use.”

This cattle scratching brush has horizontal and vertical brushes mounted on strong, sprung galvanised steel. Cows can safely scratch the top and sides of their bodies, making them more comfortable and productive. And there’s no need to take his word for it. In a trial, cows were monitored three months prior to brush installation and for a further six months after brushes were fitted. “The time cows spent grooming themselves was more than six times greater than before the brushes were installed, Non-mechanical ‘swing’ or ‘sprung’ brushes siting is not as stringent. “They should be installed where the cows will use them, when they’re housed or when they come inside during the summer for buffer feeding. Cows love to use them and so regular cleaning and maintenance to help reduce wear is important.” The work also revealed that cows in a pen with a mechanical brush increased their grooming time approximately five-fold compared to a pen without such a brush. The researchers concluded that a grooming device helps to satisfy the cow’s need for grooming while at the same time improving cow cleanliness. Both these factors (better ‘welfare’ and cleaner cows) may have an impact on disease occurrence and on milk production. The brush has a sensor which stops it rotating if it meets any resistance, to keep the animals safe and prevent tail hair from getting pulled in. The control unit has an informative display and is IP56 rated again water and dust ingress.You're logged in at this location: {{currentCustomer.user.firstName}} {{currentCustomer.user.lastName}} A non-mechanical non-moving brush installed on a wall or rail cannot offer all-round access and so will service fewer cows. Siting is important to get right. “The brushes, as you can imagine, remove a lot of dust and dirt and hair. So next to water troughs is not ideal for that reason alone. And it’s also important that they’re placed away from water troughs and feed fence access. Care must be taken to avoid disrupting cow flow.” Bought this as a wedding present for a couple who had everything – they said it was the best present they received! the torque safety shutdown stops the brush when it encounters too much resistance, ensuring safety in the barn
