DAIRY SCRATCHY

Scratching is a natural behavior for dairy cows. To relieve itching and remove dirt and parasites, cows instinctively rub against hard surfaces in their environment. Developed by Bioret Agri, the Dairy Scratchy® provides a safe and comfortable way for cows to satisfy this natural need while helping protect them from injury. Installed on walls or structural posts, it supports animal welfare, helps reduce stress and contributes to a calmer barn environment.

Multiple benefits for cows and farmers

ANIMAL WELFARE

Allows cows to scratch freely and relieve itching caused by skin irritation or parasites. Cows are more relaxed and comfortable.

PROTECTION AGAINST INJURY

Made from shock-absorbing natural rubber, the Dairy Scratchy® helps protect cows when they are jostled, reducing the risk of impact against concrete walls or metal structures.

REDUCE STRESS AND COMPETITION

Providing several scratching points helps reduce competition between cows. Each animal can access a scratching surface more easily without being pushed or crowded by others.

SIMPLE AND DURABLE

Easy to install, hard-wearing and designed for long-term use, the Dairy Scratchy® is a reliable solution requiring minimal maintenance.

A flexible and safe scratching solution

The Dairy Scratchy® consists of natural rubber panels that can be installed vertically or horizontally on barn walls and structural posts.

The vertical version combines a smooth lower section (500 mm) with a textured upper section featuring rubber studs (1,000 mm), giving cows different scratching surfaces.
The horizontal version is fully covered with rubber studs, providing a larger and easily accessible scratching area.

Thanks to its robust, shock-absorbing design, the Dairy Scratchy® satisfies the cow’s natural need to scratch while helping maintain a safer barn environment.

Supporting animal welfare and herd performance

A relaxed herd is better able to perform at its best. By giving cows free and safe access to scratching surfaces:

Stress is reduced, helping create a calmer barn environment.
The risk of injury from rubbing or bumping against hard structures is significantly reduced.
Cows are better able to express their natural behaviors, an important aspect of animal welfare.
By contributing to a calmer herd environment, the Dairy Scratchy® can also indirectly support feed intake, rumination and overall herd performance.
