Komfort Bedding Herd Wins Award For Lowest Cell Counts for Scotland and Northern England Herd Competition
KOMFORT-BEDDING is a product that has been developed for dairy cattle but is suitable for a variety of livestock . Approved by Defra , the EA and Red Tractor for use as animal bedding , it provides many benefits to the health , hygiene and comfort of cows .
Clean , dry and easy to dispense , it produces minimal dust in both cow cubicles and loose cattle housing . The super-soft 100 % paper crumb is consistently high quality , and key features of the product include its exceptional absorbency and cost-effectiveness . These features combined allow for the creation of deep comfortable beds that stay drier for longer , encouraging cows to relax in a clean environment that is kind to udder health .
This cushioning also helps to prevent hock injuries and having a drier bed supports hoof health too . Its elevated pH content is effective in reducing cell counts , and the common problem of mastitis , which is a key reason why many dairy farmers prefer Komfort-Bedding .
This winter ( 2021-2022 ), one of our Komfort bedding client ’ s dairy herd won the NMR Herd Competition ( for Scotland and Northern England ) Lowest cell count ( SCC ) award , proving Komfort beddings worth for its health benefits to cattle .
When the bedding is ready to be cleaned out , slurry-friendly Komfort-Bedding with its high organic content can be safely and effectively spread on the land to improve soil fertility or used in an anaerobic digestor productively .
Another dairy farmer with a herd of 60 milking cows , based in Somerset has been using Komfort bedding for some time with great success :
“ We have found a great alternative to sand / green bedding with
this product . Since changing from mattresses to deep beds in October , our cell counts have stayed the same and are still running at 90 . The cows are getting the same benefits as they would in sand but without the issues with slurry tanks and channels . They keep extremely clean and lay very comfortably with hardly any hock damage . We find the paper crumb gives a cost-effective alternative for deep bedding . With the results we have had over the last 6 months , we will certainly continue to use this product for the foreseeable ”.
Deliveries can be made in bulk to farms nationwide provided by our reliable , and efficient haulage service .
