Improving comfort during feed intake.
Our solutions
Feeding Step allows stressless feed intake without competition between animals. The cows are no longer disturbed by the scraper passage during their meal, which brings serenity and comfort to the animal. Food intake is therefore continuous until satiety. The ration is then valued at 100% for maximum milk production.
Feeding Step optimizes feed intake. The flexible and non-slip flooring reassures the cow, prevents slipping and stops the discomfort of concrete while preserving the joints. The dividers installed every 2 cows, prevent jostling, from the beginning to the end of the feeding. Everyone eats their fill.
