Abstract:
The design and management of proper handling systems for dairy cows begin with a cow handling management plan that considers the cow and the stock person's behavior. The safety of the cow and stock person is important to the plan and design decisions. Cow welfare can be addressed in a proper cow handling system design. Key components of a handling system are the skills of the stock person, the cow handling management plan, and the design of the handling facility. Good design enhances stockmanship ability and minimizes stress for cows and stock persons, lowering the risk of injury to both.
