DAIRY SCRATCHY®

Scratching is a natural need for dairy cows. To eliminate parasites, itching and dirt, they instinctively seek hard surfaces in their environment. The Grat'O Gratte®, developed by Bioret Agri, meets this essential need while protecting the animal from injury. Installed on walls or frame posts, it promotes animal well-being, reduces stress and contributes to a calmer atmosphere in the barn.

Numerous advantages for the cow and the farmer.

ANIMAL WELFARE

Allows cows to scratch freely, reducing skin irritations, rashes or parasites. The animals are more relaxed and serene.

PROTECTION AGAINST INJURIES

Made of shock-absorbing natural rubber, the Grat'O Gratte protects animals during jostling, preventing collisions against concrete walls or metal beams.

REDUCTION OF STRESS AND COMPETITION

Increasing the number of scratching points limits tension between cows. Each can easily access the device without jostling.

SIMPLICITY AND DURABILITY

Easy to install, durable, and designed to last, the DAIRY SCRATCHY is a reliable solution that requires no heavy maintenance.

The system consists of natural rubber panels fixed vertically or horizontally to the walls and posts of the barn.

The vertical version combines a smooth lower section (500 mm) and a studded upper section (1000 mm) for adjustable scratching.
The horizontal version is entirely covered with studs, ideal for maximizing accessible areas.

Thanks to its robust and shock-resistant design, the DAIRY SCRATCHY addresses both the cows' instinctive need to scratch and the need for safety in the building.

Impact on well-being and farm performance

A relaxed herd is a more productive herd. By providing cows with free and safe access to scratching:

Stress is reduced, and the atmosphere in the barn is calmer.
The risk of injury from impacts against hard structures is greatly reduced.
Cows express their natural behaviors more, a recognized factor in animal welfare.
Indirectly, a calmer herd contributes to better feed intake, improved rumination, and therefore optimized productivity.
