Key benefits
Mechanical back gate
Hierarchy behavior in the herd can sometimes have a bad influence on the concentrates intake by low ranked cows. There is a possibility to add back gate that closed when a cow enters the station and it is 100% cow powered. This option will help to reduce the stress level in the whole herd and is compatible with both station types
- Animal friendly open design
- Fully mechanical solution
- Easy to install and maintain
Pneumatic back gate
This optional door type is equipped with a pneumatic cylinder driven by compressed air and it requires 3-5 bars. It is responsible for opening and closing the feed station gate. The signal to close the gate is given by one of four possible working dispensers in the station if cow has available feed.
