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.
