DeLaval's Limited Edition SCB Swinging Cow Brush celebrates the 50 000 brushes sold worldwide

The DeLaval swinging cow brush is celebrating its 10 anniversary. The DeLaval brush gives cows the well-being and cleanliness essential to their comfort.
This anniversary also coincides with the sale of the 50 000ème swinging cow brush worldwide.

To mark these two major events, DeLaval is launching an exclusive limited edition brush.

The DeLaval SCB swinging cow brush is known for its unique design and patented features.

Indeed, it is the only brush on the market that can swing freely in all directions, over the cow's entire body, thanks to two pivot points.

Thanks to the DeLaval swinging cow brush, cows can truly scratch where they itch, which helps them stay calm and clean at the same time. The bristles of the brush have a carefully studied length (18 cm) and optimal stiffness to stimulate blood circulation.

3 million cows use the DeLaval SCB brush every day

More than 50 000 brushes have been sold worldwide.

This means that more than 3 million cows rub against them every day, based on the recommendation of one brush for 60 animals.

A new design and an hour counter for the DeLaval Limited Edition brush

The Limited Edition brush features a new, modern design: a silver arm and a blue brush cylinder. But that's not all.

The new brush cylinder is eccentric, meaning that the bristle length varies to provide different massage pressures and thus stimulate blood circulation.

The Limited Edition swinging brush is equipped with an hour meter that measures the brush's usage time.

The DeLaval brush offers other proven benefits

A study conducted by Cornell University in 2009 found that cows in their second lactation using the DeLaval SCB cow brush saw their milk production increase significantly, by up to 1 kg more per day.

The Cornell research team also observed a significant drop in clinical mastitis cases (more than 30 %) in cows in at least their second lactation, housed in pens where an SCB brush was installed.

In addition, the swinging cow brush helps improve cow traffic by guiding animals from the feeding area to the resting area, for example.

The brush's exclusive design also includes built-in safety, with overload and overheating protection.

The energy-saving automatic start-up system activates the brush's movement on demand and stops it within 10 seconds after use has ended.
