Partners
Cowhouse International cooperates with a
number of prolific Canadian manufacturers in the area of cow comfort
namely Promat Ltd. and Artex Fabricators Ltd. Cowhouse represents these
company’s products exclusively in Europe. Cowhouse also maintains close
relations with universities and other research institutes in the area
of animal well-being. This way Cowhouse manages to keep playing a
leading part in the cowshed equipment market.
The ideal picture
Wouldn’t it be lovely if cows could spend
the entire year outside in the pasture? Enjoying space, fresh air,
fresh food and lie down unhindered on a natural surface.
Everyday practice
This ideal image is unfortunately often
disturbed by economic factors that weigh heavier. Production factors
like land and labour are relatively expensive in Europe. In order to
achieve an acceptable operating return, dairy farms are forced to
intensify further.
As a result the cow has become a
‘machine’ that in a covered space has to produce milk. Input, output
and yield; the computer printout determines whether a cow may live for
another year or has to be replaced. With this knowledge in the back of
the mind it is remarkable the facilities in which a cow has to deliver
maximum performances are often far from ideal.
The solution
Research has shown that approaching the
ideal situation in the barn will lead to a higher milk yield and
improved health. Cowhouse products have therefore been developed in
order to fulfil this ideal. Using calculated techniques and concepts,
about which you can read more on this website, Cowhouse supplies and
installs everything to do with modern cowshed equipment. The Cowhouse
motto is therefore: "Care for Cows". |
