Once cows were free animals that lived in groups and could decide when to stand up, when to walk and when to rest.
When resting, they of course chose quiet, ventilated spots that were soft and clean. Now dairy cows have a strict daily routine, mainly based on the rhythm of milking.
Manure handling is an important aspect of farm management and is a combination of good barn hygiene and the preparation of manure for field fertilisation.
It is a great resource for farming and should be considered fundamental in farming and cropping, especially if we consider that the average manure production of a milking cow can vary from 0.35 to 1.25 metres cubed of manure a month.
