Thought provoking article in pursuit of cow comfort for long term benefits in sustainable animal production.
Well thought article, helpful for dairy farmers, but some of the bedding material like limestone or sand could not be beneficial for cultivated land, because of changing soil condition, thanks.
it is a good article, simple and understood, but I think sand bedding replacement (every 12-14 days as in the article ) needs to be revisited.
Furthermore, sand is applicable in big farms.
Is there any information about the resources needed for recycling (how much water, electricity, machinery operating cost...).
Thank you.
