Dairy production - Optimal buildings and solutions

More space means higher milk production?

Yes – provided that the barn is adapted for animal welfare.

Although there are few comprehensive studies on the relationship between farming methods, animal welfare and dairy cow performance, recent research shows that loose farming with plenty of space and comfort provides clear advantages.

📈 Milk yield is documented to be higher in year-round loose farming , provided that the barn offers:

• Soft and spacious storage areas

• Walking areas that mimic grazing areas

• Good accessibility and freedom of movement

Modern loose-fill barns with wider walking areas, optimized compartments and functional building solutions not only create better conditions for the animals - but also a more efficient and sustainable working environment for the farmer.
