Overview

The Super Sand Stall has seen a dramatic increase in popularity across the UK, particularly on some of the largest and most prominent dairy units in the country. Influenced by practises adopted in North America, it is specifically for use with deep fill sand beds and has been designed and trialed by a group of eminent farmers, many of whom are RADBF Gold Cup winners. IAE has worked closely with this group to create a system to meet the requirements for comfort on a deep fill sand bed.

By supplying a post for every cubicle loop, the Super Sand Stall provides a fully unobstructed lunge zone. The shape of the Super Sand Stall cubicle loop has been designed with a slope at the rear to aid the cow when rising, and the lower rail has been positioned closer to the bed to offer maximum support for the cow even as sand compacts and disperses. The position of the lower rail creates a different indexing method to that of a space sharing cubicle and a necessity to set the cubicle loops at the wider centres of 1195mm.

KEY FEATURES

  • Suitable for stock over 22 months
  • Super Sand Stalls were predominantly designed to be configured in a head to head set up. This creates the maximum lunge zone and allows the cow to lie with social interaction
  • Designed for deep sand, ideally 150mm to 200mm (100 min.), to improve comfort and cleanliness
  • Sand has a low bacteria count which aids in mastitis management
  • Sand decreases hock lesions and lameness

Note: This equipment is Hot Dip Galvanised to BS EN ISO 1461, however, where the equipment will be in prolonged contact with silage or other mineral rich water, it is recommended that food safe or non-toxic epoxy is applied to areas of the product which will be in contact with silage, feed or water before use, and then periodically thereafter when it is empty, clean and dry in order to prevent corrosion of the steel and zinc and therefore extend the life of the equipment.
