Freewalk housing system

A freewalk housing system is a barn without cubicles. In the past, deep litter systems with straw as bedding material was developed. The freewalk systems are in development with various bedding material and ample space per cow, about 10 to 15 m2 per cow in the bedded area where cows can walk and lie down. The aim of the freewalk housing system is to create more movement space for the animals, as well as to provide manure fractions, or manure products that can improve soil quality. To this end, feces and urine may be separated on a permeable synthetic floor or a sand bedding, or composted organic material, such as sawdust or wood chips, can be used.
