“There’s nothing more important to the cow’s comfort in terms of her environment than her lying surface.”

WHY IS COW COMFORT SO IMPORTANT?
A healthy, stress-free cow performs
better
and has a longer lifespan.
Rumination takes place when cows rest that is why lying down is so important for cows because they need to rest as part of their digestive process. Sufficient sleep is critical for both metabolic and immune function and the relationships among rumination. Stress-free cows rest for approximately 450-550 minutes per day, all the while ruminating; that’s almost 10 hours a day dairy cows need to lay down. Some research suggests 12 hours per day.
Most cattle ruminate for about ½ to 1 hour for 10–17 periods per day. When rumination takes place blood circulates properly aiding better digestion and feed utilisation and in doing so will optimise their milk production. A decrease in rumination time is typically a strong sign that something is affecting ruminal function and cow well-being.
When cows are rested their bodies are less stressed, and feeding, digestion, and circulation is maximised, meaning better health, feed utilisation, and milk productivity. A healthy, stress-free cow performs better and has a longer lifespan. When cows behave naturally, resting cycles are optimised.
A dairy cow puts most of her weight on her front carpal joints (knees) as she lies down. If that pressure causes pain, she will remain standing. If your cow stands for too long, her natural behaviour will be disrupted: she will eat and drink less and her feed utilization, health and production performance will suffer as part of their digestive process. Optimal cycles of rising and lying also help reduce the risk of any foot lesions
