DAIRY SCRATCHY®

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

Numerous advantages for the cow and the dairyman

ANIMAL WELFARE

Allows cows to scratch freely, reducing skin irritation, scabs and parasites. Cows are more relaxed and serene.

PROTECTION AGAINST INJURY

Made from impact-resistant natural rubber, the Grat'O Gratte protects animals in jostling situations, preventing them from bumping into concrete walls or metal beams.

REDUCING STRESS AND COMPETITION

The multiplication of scratch points limits tension between cows. Each cow can easily access the device without jostling the other.

SIMPLICITY AND DURABILITY

Easy to install, resistant and designed to last over time, Grat'O Gratte® is a reliable, low-maintenance solution.

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

The vertical version combines a smooth bottom section (500 mm) and a studded top section (1000 mm) for modulated scraping.
The horizontal version is entirely covered with studs, ideal for increasing the number of accessible areas.

Thanks to its robust, shock-proof design, the Grat'O Gratte® meets both cows ' instinctive need to scratch and the need for safety in the barn.

A relaxed herd is a more efficient herd. By offering cows free and safe access to scratching :

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