Bedding technique

95% of the dairy farms have cow cubicles. The cubicle is a very important place in the barn, since there the 
cow ruminates, produces milk and rests. Therefore it must be a comfortable place for the cow. In order to 
achieve this, well-maintained bedding is essential. 
The type of bedding material plays a very important role and the bedding must be refreshed en replaced 
regularly. Flingk offers various spreaders for different types of bedding and various situations to distribute 
bedding well and efficiently.

Deep litter or mats/cow mattress
We distinguish between cubicles with deep litter and cubicles with mats.
When daily small quantities of bedding are distributed to cow cubicles with mats the best choice is the
electric spreader SE 250 or the hydraulic linkage spreader Z type. With these machines it is possible to 
distribute small quantities of bedding very precisely. Cubicles with deep litter require a larger quantity of 
bedding. In that case the Z, S, SX, ZX, ZXS and KSS types are very suitable.
The table below shows which types of spreaders can be used for the various types of bedding material.
In this catalogue all the types of spreaders are described.
