F.A.Q
Why does Cow Comfort lead to greater profits?
Recent research has shown that dairy cows that live in an
environment designed to provide them with peace and comfort produce
more milk and live healthier and longer. For many years, Agricow has
been focusing on the subject of ANIMAL WELL-BEING. The principles on
which it is based are simple and involve healthy, well-cared-for
animals that are provided with the best conditions of comfort, both
physically and psychologically, and which consequently become more
productive. In order to provide the necessary tools, Agricow's team
of experts has studied a range of products and technological
solutions that can be easily integrated into an existing cowshed but
at the same time the company also provides support and advice for
the design and construction of a new cowshed according to the
principles of animal welfare. All Agricow manufactured products have
been studied and developed with the utmost care by our experienced
technicians and engineers to ensure animal welfare, the most
efficient cowshed management, reduced maintenance and veterinary
costs. Agricow has therefore studied, tested and obtained
certifications to meet all expectations of quality, reliability,
robustness and durability.
What certifications has Agricow obtained?
The excellent characteristics of our mattresses are not only
recognised by farmers who use Agricow products, but also by numerous
international certificates
• Fokus Test 5615F referring to the Eco-latex mattress issued by DLG (German supervisory body)
The DLG surveillance body is a modern control service centre with high competence in the agricultural sector and is present in several European countries. The Fokus Test focuses on one or more partial aspects of a product, e.g. strength or functional quality, and the DLG FokusTest certification mark is a guarantee of maximum reliability.
All of our mattresses are covered with a high-strength and tough waterproof polypropylene mesh fabric that allows urine to flow over a flat, sagging-free surface, keeping the animal clean at all times. This makes it possible to set up a litter box with all the right features for the comfort and hygiene of the cattle.
Agricow rubber has been awarded the Fokus Test 08-376 having passed the abrasion resistance and slip resistance tests where it was one of the best in its category
The DLG Fokus Test is a voluntary check on one or more elements of a product, e.g. resistance or quality. The DLG provides the Fokus Test certification mark accompanied by the benchmarks used to award the certification, which is a guarantee of maximum reliability.

What is the patent of the Agricow Pendular Brush?
Agricow is the holder of the Italian patent no. 1360795 issued on
19.05.2009 (filed with application no. BS2005A000032 dated
11.03.2005) concerning Equipment for brushing cattle and the
equivalent European patent No. 1665927 issued on 23.01.2006 valid in
all countries party to the European Patent Convention.
A study conducted at Cornell University (Ithaca, New York) in 2006 shows that the constant use of the brush in cows in second lactation contributes to an increase in milk production per capita of one kg per day and shows a reduction in cases of clinical mastitis.
