www.kerbl.com Scratch Brushes
2 Top quality animal comfort Improved animal health Animals have the need to rub and scratch themselves. Cattle brushes are an important part of general hygiene and no modern cowshed should be without one. The animals clean themselves and get rid of lice, mites, and other parasites. The development of eczema or fungal infections is reduced or even generally prevented. When animals are healthy, then you have a calm, relaxed herd. Improved yield Healthy and cared-for cattle and goats can achieve improved yields because the feeling of well-being is an important factor. The large-area brushing and massaging increases blood circulation in the skin, promotes heat dissipation and stimulates the metabolism. The stimulated blood circulation can increase milk yields and increase the frequency of „in-heat“ periods. Variety and occupation The animals become calmer, their well-being increases through the use of a scratch brush, and they are also occupied. Undesirable animal behaviours, such as mutual suckling with calves, are also reduced. Easy assembly Our electric cow cleaning machines are easy to install and nearly maintenance-free. Greasing at the pressure lubrication points and prompt replacement of brush rollers extend service life and attractiveness to animals. The devices are suitable for outside installation, e.g. under a projecting roof. Robust and effective Not every cow brush achieves the same result. It should particularly ensured that the brush can be operated by the animal easily, reaches as many body parts as possible, has a good cleaning effect, does not injure the animal, requires little maintenance, and works problem-free. The importance of a robust and long-lasting design is demonstrated by the fact that, in a herd of 30 animals, each cow brushes herself for 10 minutes per day on average, and so a cow-cleaning machine operates for several hours every day. Smart and secure Further important aspects in the selection of a suitable cow brush include safe, injury-free use and convenient operation. This is where the intelligent electronics of the HAPPYCOW brushes convince through error-free, low-maintenance operation. The changing direction of the brush after every activation ensures even wear of the brushes. The torque-operated safety shutdown stops the brush when it encounters too much resistance, thus ensuring safety in the cowshed.
3 Installation location So that your animals enjoy an optimum brushing experience, the installation location of the brushes should be selected with care. Select a location which has a lot of free space, so that other animals can get past the animals who are scratching themselves, and that low-ranking animals also get their brushing time. Ensure that dead-ends and dark corners are avoided, and position the brushes as far as possible from feeding and drinking areas, in order to prevent contamination from these. Find the right brush type for your application: Ready for the Animal Welfare Initiative Since 2015, the Animal Welfare Initiative (ITW) in Germany has been promoting improved animal welfare in livestock farming. Through this initiative, the agriculture sector, the meat industry and the food retail sector have committed to their shared responsibility for animal husbandry, animal health and animal welfare in livestock farming. To participate in the Animal Welfare Initiative, certain animal welfare criteria – which go beyond the legal standards – must be implemented. Since March 2022, cattle farmers have also been able to participate in the Animal Welfare Initiative. Detailed information on the Animal Welfare Initiative and the currently valid criteria can be found at: https://initiative-tierwohl.de/ Our cow grooming brushes meet the requirements of the ‘scratching options’ criterion. ** Brushes for Animals The benefits suitable for Installation location HAPPYCOW Uno installation on half-height wall possible adult cattle * wall, half-height wall HAPPYCOW Duo simultaneous brushing of back and flank adult cattle * Wall HAPPYCOW MaxiSwing accessible from all sides - large brush surface adult cattle * wall, pillar HAPPYCOW MidiSwing accessible from all sides suitable for cattle older than 1 year and adult cattle * wall, pillar HAPPYCOW MiniSwing accessible from all sides Calves, goats and breeding sows wall, pillar HAPPYCOW Free Maxi low-cost and low-maintenance Large animals * wall, pillar HAPPYCOW FlexiSwing low-cost and low-maintenance adult cattle, young animals and calves from 2 months, horses * wall, pillar Post Scrubber Scratch Brush for Outdoor Use Cattle, calves, horses, etc. * for floor/ground installation on compacted surfaces or pasture land HAPPYCOW Bully / Scratch Plate very robust construction, designed for bull fattening Beef fattening Stabling, wall Cattle Brush Texas/ Cattle Brush 29325 low-cost and low-maintenance Cattle, calves, horses, etc. * wall, pillar Scratch Brush good value and low maintenance - minimum space requirement - flexible in use Cattle, calves, horses, etc. * wall, pillar, posts, edges, etc. Scratch Mats good value and low maintenance - minimum space requirement - flexible in use Cattle, calves, horses, etc. * wall, pillar, posts, edges, etc. Beef fattening Calf fattening Dairy cattle Scratch Brush HAPPYCOW Bully (293130) (our recommendation) HAPPYCOW MiniSwing (18840) HAPPYCOW Uno (18690, 18680) Scratch plate (293150) HAPPYCOW FlexiSwing (18670) HAPPYCOW Duo (18820) Cattle Brush Texas (29310)Cattle Brush Lotte (29325) HAPPYCOW MaxiSwing (18860) HAPPYCOW MidiSwing (18850) Scratch Brush (293100, 293105) HAPPYCOW Free Maxi (18865) HAPPYCOW FlexiSwing (18670) Scratch Mats (32689, 3282838, 3282839) fitted over edges Cattle Brush Texas (29310) Cattle Brush Lotte (29325) Post Scrubber Maxi (18650) *excluding bulls over 6 months old **Beef fattening in accordance with the criteria list dated 26 May 2026, read in conjunction with the explanatory notes dated 1 July 2026, and calf fattening and dairy cattle in accordance with the criteria list dated 3 November 2025, read in conjunction with the explanatory notes dated 29 July 2026
