Manual livestock brushes: Cost-effective and efficient care for all types of animal husbandry

No power connection required

• Lower Costs: Manual livestock brushes are not only cheaper to purchase but also incur no ongoing energy costs. 
• Flexible mounting options: Since no power connection is required, these brushes can be installed almost anywhere, including pastures or remote barns without electricity. Additionally, the need for special weather protection is eliminated, simplifying outdoor installation and saving additional costs.

Self-care for your animals

• Cost-effective care: Manual livestock brushes allow animals to brush themselves at a low investment cost, with no ongoing costs. Brush elements can be replaced if necessary. 
• Natural grooming behaviour: In the wild, animals groom themselves by rubbing against trees and bushes through their movements. This behaviour can be optimally imitated with manual brushes.

Promoting skin health

• Improved blood circulation: Regular use of these brushes stimulates blood circulation in the skin. This leads to better skin health and a shinier coat. 
• Reduced risk of skin diseases: Grooming the coat reduces the risk of skin diseases and parasite infestation. Animals can determine the intensity themselves and rub intuitively as needed. Occupational Activity: Especially calves, young cattle, or even horses use brushes for occupational activity. They work on the bristles orally or push movable brushes in different directions playfully.

Flexible and robust: The HAPPYCOW FlexiSwing features a robust yet highly flexible spring, similar to springs found on children's playgrounds, making it suitable for calves from two months old. The high-quality construction guarantees a long lifespan and minimizes maintenance effort. The special coating also makes the spring corrosion-resistant, withstanding adverse weather conditions.

Versatile application: The brush can be mounted on walls or pillars both indoors and outdoors and is accessible from all sides. This versatility allows for flexible installation that adapts to the specific conditions of your barn or pasture. Whether on wooden beams, steel supports, or masonry – the HAPPYCOW FlexiSwing can be easily installed anywhere. Additionally, it promotes the natural grooming behavior of the animals, contributing to improved well-being and health.

Easy installation: The HAPPYCOW FlexiSwing comes with a comprehensive mounting kit that includes all necessary screws and brackets. A detailed manual ensures that even less experienced farmers can quickly and safely install the brush. The modular design also allows for easy disassembly and cleaning, significantly facilitating brush maintenance.

Ergonomic design: The ergonomically designed bristles of the HAPPYCOW FlexiSwing provide a pleasant massage effect and promote blood circulation in the animals. The brush flexibly adapts to the body contours of the calves and reaches even difficult-to-access areas, making it ideal for preventing skin irritations and parasite infestations.

By investing in the HAPPYCOW FlexiSwing, you enhance the health and well-being of your animals while increasing the efficiency and productivity of your operation.

Cylindrical design: The cylindrical shape of the post brushes allows access from all sides, enabling communal grooming. This innovative design ensures that animals can effectively free themselves from excess fur and dirt. The all-around brushes offer the advantage of reaching difficult-to-access body parts, providing comprehensive cleaning and massage.

Easy mounting: The brushes require only a fixed surface for ground mounting. Installation is straightforward and can be easily performed by two people. The Maxi post brush can also be anchored directly into the ground with a separately available ground anchor, allowing flexible placement outdoors. This is particularly practical for pastures and outdoor areas where stable anchoring is required. The ground anchor ensures secure and permanent anchoring, even with intensive use by multiple animals.

Robustness and durability: The post brushes from Kerbl are made from high-quality, durable materials that withstand daily wear and tear. They are weather-resistant and well-suited for outdoor use. The bristles are designed to be robust enough to ensure thorough cleaning but gentle enough not to injure the animals' skin.

Versatile application: These post brushes are suitable for various animal species. They not only promote grooming but also the well-being of the animals, as brushing can have a calming effect. Additionally, they encourage social interaction, as animals can share the brushes.

Safety features: The post brushes are designed without sharp edges or dangerous components that could cause injuries. The stable construction and secure mounting ensure that the brushes do not tip over or come loose even with intensive use. In summary, Kerbl's post brushes offer an ideal solution for grooming and the well-being of your animals. With their thoughtful design, easy installation, and robust construction, they are a valuable addition to any agricultural operation or animal owner.

Scratch brushes are indispensable in dairy barns. Once you've seen the animals enjoying grooming, you won't want to miss this sight. The HAPPYCOW Bully scratch brush is a scrubbing option specifically designed for fattening cattle. In the cattle fattening sector and especially with fattening bulls, animals test their strength, subjecting the scratch brush to entirely different stress than in other cattle farming. The steel frame is particularly robust and withstands the toughest demands of the animals. The brushes are made from high-quality, durable bristles and, if needed, come with replaceable brush strips. Replacement is possible from the front side alone due to the recessed screws in the frame

Flexible mounting options 
Pens in cattle fattening systems are also often structured, limiting the mounting options for grooming solutions. Position the scratch brush best in the middle area between feeding and resting zones. Thanks to the elongated holes on both sides, the brush is flexibly mountable on pens or walls, making it particularly versatile.

Not everyone is immediately ready to equip the entire barn with scratch brushes. We offer our cost-effective and durable scratch plate as an introduction to scouring options in cattle fattening. In addition to the perforated surface, the edges offer an additional option for targeted rubbing on the head and rump. We have also focussed on flexible mounting options for the scratch plate on the housing and wall. The scratch plate is suitable for the animal welfare cattle fattening initiative.
