Free stalls are one of the most important parts of a barn when it comes to how cows rest and use the space.

Sue Hagenson from InBarn explains why stall dimensions and design need to encourage cows to lie down comfortably, with around 12 hours of lying time a key target.

When the stall setup works properly, cows are more likely to rest for longer, which can support better milk production.

Itā€™s a good example of why the small details in barn design can have a big impact day to day.

Flies are starting to show up again, so now is a good time to get on top of numbers before they build further into the season.

The FlyBuster Trap and Bait System is a pesticide-free way to reduce fly pressure around dairies and sheds. It draws flies in and stops them from escaping, helping interrupt the breeding cycle before populations really take off.

A simple way to reduce fly irritation and make life in and around the dairy more comfortable.

Available through your local rural retailer.

A more consistent bed can make a big difference in how a stall works day to day.

In this final reel, Chris Keane from Promat explains how the Pack Mat provides a stable mattress base for cows while reducing the amount of loose bedding that needs to be managed.

For farmers, that can mean less bedding maintenance and an easier system to manage over time.

The feed lane is another critical area when it comes to managing heat stress.

Sue Hagenson from InBarn explains how soaking cows at the feed lane, combined with fast-moving air, can help cool them down while theyā€™re eating. As conditions get hotter, the soaking cycle can be adjusted to suit the climate and help keep cows more comfortable.

Not every dairy needs to start again from scratch.

Sometimes the right upgrade can improve how your existing dairy works, whether that means replacing outdated equipment, adding new technology or making changes to suit the way your farm operates today.

Daviesway Capital Works can help you work through what makes sense for your setup.

Some of the biggest challenges in a farm development can come down to the basics.

In this final reel with Nico Polato, he explains why power, water and site access need to be considered early in the planning process, before a development gets too far down the track.

Understanding what the site can realistically support is an important first step in making sure the project is viable.

No two dairies start from the same place or need to end up with the same setup.

Every farm has its own way of operating, its own priorities and a different direction for future development. Thatā€™s why there isnā€™t one standard solution that works for everyone.

For Daviesway, the process starts with understanding what youā€™re trying to achieve and working through the different options before deciding what makes sense for your farm. Sometimes that means improving the dairy you already have. Other times it may be part of a much bigger development plan.

The important part is making an informed decision and putting a system in place that suits the way your farm needs to work.

If your dairy needs an upgrade or refurbishment, contact Daviesway and we can talk through your needs.

A closer look at Promatā€™s Pack Mat system.

Chris Keane explains how the Pack Mat was designed to reduce the amount of bedding needed in stalls, while still creating a comfortable base for cows.

The system uses a layered mattress setup and can reduce bedding requirements by up to 70%, depending on the material used.

Itā€™s another example of how small design decisions can make a big difference to how a barn operates day to day.

From Warragul to a 125-stall rotary dairy in the USA.

Big Tex is the largest Orbitor rotary gland Daviesway has built, manufactured by our team in regional Victoria and now hard at work on one of the biggest dairy operations weā€™ve supplied.

Itā€™s a great example of the capability sitting right here in Warragul, with locally built dairy equipment making its way onto farms around the world.

Australian manufacturing, built for dairies at a global scale.

Meet Chris Keane from Promat Inc.

Promat invented the cow mattress in 1991, and in this first reel Chris talks about the thinking behind cow comfort in housed systems.

Their approach is centred around helping cows behave more naturally in the barn, with mattress design playing an important role in how comfortable that environment feels.
