Virpi Kurkela, DVM

A freestall is a small spot in your barn, but it is the one that your cow values highest!

In a robot barn cows most important tasks are: eat, go to milking and rest! Those simple tasks ensure good milk production and health.

 

For a cow to rest comfortably and for long enough, the freestall must be carefully thought out. 

The purpose of this course is to provide you with a solid information for the basis of your decisions about freestall structures, sizing and management.

We also added comments and experiences from dairy farmers, who are successful with their freestall management.

Come and join us to ensure your cows good rest!
