Cleanliness of livestock building floors: what are the levers?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

Even when automated and regular, cleaning with a scraper is not always sufficient. The floor of the barn often remains damp and slippery. The risk of falling and general discomfort for the cows, the stress generated by their simple movements in the barn impacts the quality of their feed intake, reducing the quantity absorbed and resulting in lower ration value. Cows' intranquillity also hampers the farmer's daily monitoring, for heat detection for example, and makes it more difficult to identify other pathologies.<\/p>\n

      Stabling: not all floor coverings are created equal<\/strong><\/h2>\n

      <\/p>\n

      While slatted floors can provide a solution to some of the problems associated with the floors of livestock buildings, they are a poor response to current ecological issues. Indeed, the stagnation of dejecta under slatted floors leads to an increase in ammonia emissions of +27%, with their induced effect on stall odors. At a time when the European Commission is recommending a reduction in NH_{3<\/sub> of -13% by 2030, rethinking the surface area of livestock buildings can become a real lever for action.<\/p>\n}
