ZEN'EAT®

Zen’Eat® is an innovative solution developed by Bioret Agri to improve the feeding conditions of dairy cows. By combining a raised feed platform with flexible dividers, it allows each animal to eat calmly, protected from scraper traffic and social pressures. The result: less stress, optimized intake, and improved milk production.

The benefits of Zen’Eat® for dairy farming

STRESS-FREE FEEDING

It offers each cow an individual space at the feed fence, limiting jostling and competition between dominant and submissive animals.

OPTIMAL POSITIONING

The flexible dividers guide the cow to the best possible position at the feed fence. This gives her full access to the ration, while directing her waste towards the alley.

PROTECTION AGAINST THE SCRAPER

Thanks to its raised feeding platform, the Zen’Eat® protects animals from scraper crossings during meals. Cows can thus feed to satiety without being interrupted.

IMPROVED INTAKE

By reducing stress and interruptions, the Zen’Eat® naturally increases the time spent feeding. This promotes optimal rumen fill and better utilization of the ration.

How does the Zen’Eat work?

The Zen’Eat® is based on a simple idea: to offer cows a feeding space where they feel protected and calm. It combines:

A raised feeding platform with a rear slope: this elevation isolates the feeding area from the traffic lane, preventing the passage of the scraper and naturally draining liquids towards the lane.
Flexible DiviZen dividers: flexible and resistant, they clearly define each animal's space while preventing injuries. Their shape and positioning encourage the cow to adopt the correct posture for eating, while directing its excrement towards the rear.

By respecting the natural feeding rhythm, the Zen’Eat® reduces defensive behaviors, unnecessary movements, and sources of stress. Each cow can then consume its ration continuously, promoting a better dietary balance and a more serene atmosphere in the barn.

Impact on farm performance

The adoption of the Zen’Eat in a livestock building has a direct impact on the productivity and health of the herd:

Increased feeding duration: longer and more regular meals promote better ruminal balance and optimal digestion.
Improved milk production: a well-filled rumen and a relaxed animal result in a measurable increase in production.
Reduction of feed waste: better access to the ration limits waste and allows for better utilization of forages.
Calmer atmosphere in the building: fewer jostles, less stress, a more peaceful social hierarchy.
Improved health: fewer injuries related to blows and jostling, better body condition, and a decrease in digestive disorders.

By creating optimal feeding conditions, the Zen’Eat® acts as a sustainable lever to improve the overall performance of the farm, while contributing to animal welfare and farm profitability.
