COMPARATIVE EVALUATION OF DIFFERENT COW INDIVIDUAL RESTING BOX FLOOR COVERINGS
Abstract
According to the normal daily rhythm of manifestation of physiological functions, cows should spend 12-14 hours a day lying down. Optimal lying time is achieved only with sufficient comfort, which can be provided by the box floor covering. In this regard, field tests of three variants of rubber-cord floorplates 1930×1230×18 in size, manufactured at Belshina JSC in accordance with technical specifications TU 38.14762133-19-9, were carried out at SPF “Budagovo” of SE “ZhodinoAgroPlemElita” in Smolevichi district of Minsk region. The paper contains the results of a comparative evaluation of the studied variants of rubber-cord floorplates in the conditions of industrial milk production technology. It has been found that the studied variants of plates meet the main zoohygienic requirements: they provide a warm, dry, clean and soft den for comfortable rest of cows in conditions of unheated barn. As a result, blood circulates more actively in the udder, milk production is more intensive, and ligaments, joints and hooves are relieved at the same time.
