Bedding, an essential factor in your milk production.
Cows lie down for approximately 10 to 14 hours a day. Rest periods are very important for cattle; they are essential for health, production, and reproduction. When comfort is insufficient, the cow limits its rest and rumination periods.
7 good reasons to encourage cows to rest:
- Reduces limb and foot problems;
- Corresponds to the physiological needs of the animal and is therefore essential to its life;
- Increases blood circulation to the udder by approximately 30%, resulting in increased production;
- Allows more rumination and a reduction in the risk of acidosis;
- Ensures better valuation of the ration;
- Helps with recovery after calving or after illness;
- Ensures more calm and tranquility for the herd when the cows are resting.
