Itching:

Cows dislike itching just as much as we do. Itching is often caused by parasites, mites, lice, and fungi. To relieve the itch, cows will rub themselves against a post, feed though, water though, tree, or any other object in their environment. However, because these objects do not have the right shape, cows can injure themselves while scratching. They often need to rub for longer to reach the exact itchy spot. Once the skin becomes damaged at the itchy area, the risk of infection increases, which is detrimental to the cow’s health.

The Brush:

A cow brush also known as a livestock brush, is suitable for cattle, young stock, and dairy cows. The brush helps remove parasites, mites, lice, and fungi that cause itching. This results in healthier skin and a shinier coat. Besides relieving itch, the cow brush also provides a massage. This massage stimulates blood circulation, which activates the metabolism. The cow can also relax under the brush, reducing stress. All of this contributes to a healthier cow, which in turn leads to increased milk production.
Conclusion: A cow brush offers an excellent Return of Investment.

Types of Cow Brushes:

Brushes are available in both mechanical and electric versions. One advantage of the mechanical cow brush is its durability—it’s nearly impossible to break, and it only wears down over time. Cows naturally tend to rub themselves, making a mechanical brush an ideal solution.
An advantage of the electric brush is that it cleans the cow’s coat more effectively than a mechanical one. Additionally, the cow requires little effort to be brushed.
