STRONG CONNECTIONS: Steel bolts and nuts connect RHINO framing.Metal buildings have no length limitations. Steel dairy barns as wide as 480’ wide are possible with minimal interior columns. SPACE: RHINO steel buildings span up to 300’ without inside columns.Many dairymen erect their own steel barns and buildings. Dairy farmers love the quick and easy erection of a RHINO steel building. FAST CONSTRUCTION :Dairy farm operations cannot slow down for a construction project.Steel dairy barns supply multiple benefits for today’s dairy operations: BENEFITS OF METAL DAIRY BARN CONSTRUCTION Pre-engineered metal dairy barns and milking parlors provide maximum space, comfort, and ventilation for dairy cows well-being. Environments that reduce noise, raise comfort, and support bovine health, will create calmer, more productive herds. Thoughtful design of dairy barns design is a top priority. Successful dairy farmers today do everything possible to enhance cow comfort. Consistent and calming music created the best results.īoost Cow & Cattle Comfort with Steel Dairy Barns MUSIC HATH CHARMS:A British study concluded playing slow music in the dairy barn improved milk production by 3%.LET THE LIGHT SHINE IN: A Michigan State University study discovered increasing the hours of lighting- and better barn ventilation- raised milk production.Happy, more trusting cows meant fewer injuries to workers, too. Simply treating dairy cows as individuals spikes milk production by about 3.5%. Friendliness between dairy farmers and individual cows reduces fear, which improved fertility, growth rate, and stock behavior. NAME THAT COW:A study released in 2013 concluded cows with individual names yielded almost 500 pints more milk.In Holstein cows, serotonin generated greater blood calcium. Jersey cows showed an increase in milk calcium levels. HAPPY HORMONE:Researchers at the University of Wisconsin found dairy cows given a chemical that increased serotonin- the “happiness hormone”- produced higher levels of calcium.Several research projects have proven what Carnation Milk Company has been saying since 1907- “contented cows” produce better milk- and more of it. It takes about 350 “squirts” to yield one gallon of milk.The average cow produces 6.5 gallons of milk per day.The USDA reports 9.349 million milk cows in the U.S.The average American consumes 812.9 pounds of milk, cheese, ice cream, butter, and other dairy products every year!.The scope of the American dairy industry boggles the mind: Surprising research shows happy cows not only produce more milk, but better quality milk. Pre-engineered steel dairy barns create a safer, more comfortable environment for dairy farmers- and for the herds they own. Happy Cows in Comfortable Barns Produce More Milk
