COMFORT FOR THE COW
npHE cow in the picture is lying on a Kowlay made of Polyurethane foam cushions enclosed in an outer cover of PVC-ccated nylon fabric which has been designed as an alternative to straw bedding. The makers claim that with this bedding
the bruising of heifers brought in for the first time is virtually eliminated, calves grow more quickly, milk yield is increased, labour in keeping stalls clean is reduced and bedding costs are lowered (each cow normally requires a ton and a
half of straw a season). The nylon fabric is undamaged by hooves. Completely waterproof, the seams ate welded so that bacteria oannot accumulate. For the standard size bed (sft 6in by 3ft 4in) the cost in London is £l2 15s.
