Undisturbed feeding at the trough is essential for dairy herds. Good feed intake is the key to production, and the Zen'eat offers an appropriate solution. Simple yet highly effective, this system improves feed intake in a number of ways.
What's the concept? Zen'eat is a raised, slightly inclined feed area divider coupled with flexible dividers. The step is installed along the feed fence. Short, flexible plastic bars are attached at the foot of the feed fence. Positioned every two cows, these dividers (called Divi'zen) attenuate dominant-dominated relationships, thus avoiding conflicts during mealtimes. The device also enables the cow to be straightened for optimal feed intake.
A peaceful meal thanks to Zen’eat
By eliminating sources of stress related to feed competition, the Zen’eat allows cows to eat peacefully and make better use of their ration. Thanks to a dedicated space without disturbances (the dividers also prevent cows from running on the step or lying across it), ingestion occurs in complete serenity. There are no more interruptions, which promotes complete ration intake.
The space allocated to each pair of cows, more restricted, and the inclination of the step also contribute to straightening the animals. These are then positioned in the ideal axis when they feed. Separating the scraping area and the feeding area also prevents the cows from being bothered by the passage of the scraper, while the droppings do not soil the step, the length of which has been calculated accordingly.
The rubber that covers it also makes it easy to maintain, in exactly the same way as a row of stalls. Non-slip, this coating also limits the risk of slipping. A comfortable feeding area, designed to allow cows to be more serene and ingest more… and for the farmer to increase the performance of his herd.
The Sani’feed, a PVC trough cover
An ideal complement to the Zen’eat on the other side of the headlocks, the Sani feed is a PVC trough cover that guarantees optimal hygiene. Its smooth surface prevents the proliferation of bacteria and facilitates cleaning. It also improves ingestion, as a clean and fresh ration is always more palatable. The result is quickly visible in all equipped barns: calm, healthier cows that ruminate more… and above all, more milk in the tank. Another advantage is that this delimitation of spaces guarantees a perfect level of safety when blocking animals in the event of intervention (insemination, care…). Finally, the Sani’feed is easy to install and its cost is very affordable.
