Te Pari’s new modular Artificial Breeding race for integration into both new or existing dairy facilities.
With the artificial breeding season creating increased activity and the need to handle cattle safely and efficiently, a dedicated AB race is becoming increasingly popular on New Zealand dairy farms.
Oamaru-headquartered Te Pari has introduced a new modular AB race for integration into both new or existing dairy facilities, providing safety and efficient access for technicians and farm staff.
With AB technicians no longer permitted to work in herringbone pits due to health and safety requirements, alongside LIC’s updated AB facility standards, many dairy farmers are now considering upgrading their yards to include compliant AB races.
Benefits of a dedicated AB facility include reduced risk of injury to cows, staff, and technicians, faster, more streamlined insemination, a calmer working environment for animals and the potential for improved in-calf rates. The set-up also lends itself for other tasks such as vaccinations, blood testing and scanning.
As part of the design, an optimal race width of 1050mm allows cows to stand on an angle to provide good access for AB technicians, reducing delays and the risk of injury.
As part of a dedicated installation, the AB Race can be complemented by an optional pit, making jobs like teat sealing much easier. The pit is covered by strong FRP (fibre reinforced plastic) grating that is easily removed for access. The grating doubles as a great anti-slip standing for AB technicians. visit www.tepari.com
