Product Information

The system is aimed at improving natural ventilation by pushing clean fresh air into the building. It uses an internal horizontal inflatable polythene (or similar type material) ventilation tube stretching the length of the building, with holes cut to direct the air where needed. The cost must include a wall mounted fan which draws fresh air into the building, a controller and an internal inflatable tube (eg polythene), all designed for agricultural use. The springy construction of the brush means it can withstand animals in heat and mounting each other Bio-secure, closed water tank for outdoor pigs made from plastic/ polyethylene. Must include integrated bite nipple drinkers and a stand. Number of nipple drinkers per tank required should be based on 1 drinking space per 10 pigs. Must be possible to connect tank to mains water supply. Minimum tank size of 500 litres. They certainly enrich the cow environment. It’s clear to see that cows get a lot of pleasure from the brushes. And the fact that there are also health benefits is the icing on the cake really – and another good reason to consider investing in brushes.” Although the intuitive concept of the swinging cow brush being associated with better productivity and increased health may be straightforward, no hard data exist to quantify this potential relationship. Therefore a comparison study of cows experiencing a cow brush was designed, including a contemporary control and pre-study baseline measurements.

Static race reader, with Antenna and Bluetooth connection. Must be able to read HDX and FDX B tags. To be eligible under this item the reader must be permanently fixed to the race or cattle crush. Portable readers are not eligible under this item. A good brush will not only stimulate blood flow, but also allow the cow to groom parts of her body that other ‘scratching posts’ can’t reach. Siting is important to get right. “The brushes, as you can imagine, remove a lot of dust and dirt and hair. So next to water troughs is not ideal for that reason alone. And it’s also important that they’re placed away from water troughs and feed fence access. Care must be taken to avoid disrupting cow flow.” Spin feeder for poultry that scatters feed pellets across the litter to encourage natural behaviour. Feeder must be either standing on legs or suspended. For suspended spin feeders, both fixed and monorail systems are eligible for funding. Mini ceiling-suspended spin feeders, gamebird spin feeders, or outdoor spin feeders are not eligible under this item. Hopper must have a minimum feed capacity of 200kg. Must be made of hygienic, easily cleanable material such as plastic or metal. Spin feeder must only be used with pellets of a suitable hardness and size to ensure bird nutrition or to provide enrichment.A brush rotates on a horizontal arm attached to a motor and the motor also swings left and right, about 45deg in each direction.

And ask any producer who has fitted brushes and they will tell you that the cows never leave them alone – they’re almost in constant use.” Non-mechanical ‘swing’ or ‘sprung’ brushes siting is not as stringent. “They should be installed where the cows will use them, when they’re housed or when they come inside during the summer for buffer feeding. Cows love to use them and so regular cleaning and maintenance to help reduce wear is important.” A swinging plate feeder with coarse coating to encourage natural beak wear/blunting. Item must be suspended below a feed pipe connected to an overhead silo feeding system. Cannot be home-made from materials sourced from supplier(s) or items already owned.Automatic on/off control starts the brush rotating on demand, and stops it within 10 seconds after use Our automatic rotating cow brushes are eligible for grants under the Farming Equipment and Technology Fund products FETF98 and FETF99. Non-powered brushes Some of the models available commercially have a spring that allows the horizontal brush to move, depending on the size of the cow. This makes them well suited to herds that have cows of different sizes. If they’re inside then troughs, railings, walls – anything solid – will also take the brunt of their grooming behaviour. And, if cow brushes are fitted, these will obviously be put through their paces.” A non-mechanical non-moving brush installed on a wall or rail cannot offer all-round access and so will service fewer cows.

And the increased activity of the cow may lead to less metabolic diseases, better digesting and eventually in higher milk production.A feed inventory system for monitoring the amount of feed being stored in a silo and consumed by pigs. Weigh system should fit one feed bin / silo. Must be possible to integrate system into new or existing housing / production management system. Silos and bins are not eligible. A purpose designed and manufactured ball toy suspended from the ceiling / roof to provide enrichment for calves. Toy must be suspended using chain. A proportional dosing pump which measures a given water flow and adds a suitable additive, usually in the liquid state, into the flow at a set proportion.
