The innovative L'port closing gate for protection of cow in the feedstation.
Around the out of parlour feeding station it can often get very crowded with lower rank cows being pushed away by more dominant individuals. Moreover the pushing and shoving sometimes results in nasty injuries. With the L'port closing gate this misery is avoided and cow comfort is increased.
Eating quietly without intrusive cows
A common problem: Cows coming to get their portion of concentrate feed are pushed and fighted away from the feeding station. Lower rank cows are pushed away so that concentrates do not reach those cows that need them the most. There is also the danger that this bullying can result in injuries to legs and udders.
Hanskamp has come up with an innovative solution: the L'port closing gate. The L'port closing gate is a pneumatically powered barrier that closes off the entrance to the feeding station safely so cows are no longer pushed away from their concentrates. This increases the calm and cow comfort in your stall.
The L'port closing gate ensures that every single cow can eat her portion of concentrated feed in peace, and you know that the feed goes to the right cow. The L'port closing gate is very simple to install with any type of out of parlour feeding station, including those with shorter side bars. The Hanskamp L'port closing gate is also available in a version with an XL extension.
