Unmatched Durability: Built to endure! Designed with robust materials to withstand harsh weather and provide 30-50+ years of reliable service – that’s more than timber.
Optimized Animal Welfare: Promote a healthy herd! Open designs and optional automated ridge vents reduce humidity by up to 30%, minimizing respiratory issues and maximizing milk yields.
Fast & Efficient Construction: Get up and running sooner! Pre-fabricated components and a streamlined design process cut construction time drastically.
Low Lifetime Costs: Minimize expenses! Rot-proof, pest-resistant materials significantly reduce annual maintenance costs, freeing up your resources for growth.
Fully Customizable Designs: Create your ideal layout! Clear spans accommodate free-stall, tie-stall, and robotic milking setups, maximizing space and workflow.
Environmentally Responsible: Support sustainability! Steel’s recyclability reduces your farm’s environmental footprint, aligning with responsible farming practices. Benefit from our hot-dip galvanizing process that is environmentally friendly.

Buyer’s Guide – What to Consider Before Purchasing a Cowshed

Building a successful cowshed requires careful planning. Here’s what to consider:

Location and Site Selection

Prioritize well-drained land with at least a 2-3% slope for effective runoff. Locate the cowshed 500+ meters from potential pollution sources to minimize disease risks. Aim for east-west orientation to optimize sunlight exposure and minimize heat stress.

Design Considerations

Maximize cow comfort! Aim for a 4-meter eave height to enhance natural ventilation. Consider adjustable side curtains for 30% humidity reduction. Insulated metal panels (R-value of 5.0+) drastically cut heating/cooling costs.

Capacity and Animal Accommodation

Ensure adequate space. Allocate 8-12 square meters per cow for free-range and 4-6 square meters for confined stalls. Factor in breed variations – Holstein cattle need more space! Aisle widths of at least 3 meters are crucial for smooth equipment operation.

Functional Zoning

Optimize workflow and hygiene:

Resting Areas: Prioritize cow comfort with rubber mats (reduces stress by 20%)
Feeding Zones: Easy-access troughs and feeding lines minimize feed waste.
Milking Stations: Separate, well-lit sections streamline dairy operations.
Manure Management: Automated scraper systems cleaned twice daily can minimize odors.
Quarantine Zones: Allocate at least 5% of total area for sick cow isolation.
