Our original plan was to install scrapers.
But after 10 minutes in a slatted barn in
Somerset County, we changed our minds. Some
people stay away from slats because of the
initial cost, but that extra cost is made up for
in the first couple years.
The one thing I like the most about
slats is that there is no expense. / don’t have
any scrapers or drive units to maintain. I don't
have to run scrapers every day or haul manure
like we did in our previous tie stall barn. The
cows’foot health has been a lot better, and the
cows stay much cleaner. Our milk production
is up and the somatic cell count has gone
down. I give at least some of the credit to the
slats because with less moisture on the floor,
there is less bacteria.
