Supreme Cow Cubicle
The Supreme Cubicle is IAE's latest development
in cubicles, based on our proven existing Super
Comfort design but taken to the next level.
To increase acceptance rates of cows entering
cubicles for the first time, we have raised the
headrail to 1250mm. This gives the dual
advantage of allowing the cow to stand with all
four feet on the bed, (instead of having her
rear legs in the scrape passage), thus reducing
pressure on the rear feet. Furthermore the
higher headrail positively encourages the cow to
lie down sooner.
In addition we have created a deeper cubicle lop
therefore lowering the bottom support rail. In
other cubicle designs this lower rail can be
seen restricting a cows lunging space when she
is rising, as the head dips when the cow lunges
to get up.
IAE have remained committed to a post and
support rail system, which has proved ver
successful and allows the farmer to simply
upgrade their cubicle divisions to the latest
ideas. Other systems require a completely fresh
start with no real advantage other than being
different than the competition.
Benefits of Supreme Cubicles
- Raised headrail position
for better acceptance.
- Lower support rail for
better lunging space.
- Brisket board (not
brisket rail, which will create a hoof trap,
below rail and top of mattress) prevents cow
from getting too far forward.
