The shift to RELAX stalls has brought about a marked improvement in cow comfort at Postma Dairy, correlating directly with increased milk production and better overall herd health. Jon Postma highlights the benefits, noting, "With these stalls, maintenance and repairs have drastically reduced compared to traditional metal freestall loops. They’re just easier to manage and the cows definitely prefer them." When showing us the implementation of the RELAX stalls on the outside row of the cow barn, Jon noted, "Even in the summertime, when it's hot, they'll still come and lay here. This row is always full. It's always full of cows. They like 'em!" Read the full article: https://bit.ly/4kP1Tgt #cowcomfort #dairy #farmequipment #livestock #dairyfarm #lelyrobots

"Our cows’ comfort and well-being are paramount,… Improved air movement within the barn is essential to ensure the well-being of our animals." - Dawn Haag with Virhada Holsteins Full article on Virhada Holsteins partnering with Agromatic here: https://bit.ly/3Du8v32 #cowcomfort #dairyfarming #lely #barnequipment #livestock

Fiscalini's belief of animal welfare being a key factor in productivity lead them to the integration of Agromatic's RELAX stalls and FreeFEED systems. Brian notes with RELAX stalls, "within about the first week we started to see 45 minutes more lying down time... that's significant." This additional rest is directly linked to better milk production and enhanced cow health. Moreover, the FreeFEED system boosts feed intake while reducing the stress or injuries typical of traditional feeding methods. This comprehensive strategy for ensuring cow comfort has established a new benchmark in the industry, demonstrating that farm productivity and animal welfare are interconnected.
