Why Commercial Dairies Upgrade Stalls

Engineered to prevent "perching" and eliminate physical stall injuries in high-traffic barns.

+1.5kg

Daily Milk Increase

Our ergonomic loop geometry provides essential head-lunge room. Cows lie down faster and rest longer, directly increasing blood flow to the udder.

Zero

Hock & Neck Abrasions

Precision-bent pipes with no sharp edges and properly calibrated neck rails stop cows from hitting the framework during entry and exit.

20yr

Corrosion Lifespan

Manufactured in Zhangjiagang and hot-dip galvanized *after* welding. Provides superior resistance to barn ammonia and high humidity.

Barn Layout Configurations

Select the structural configuration that maximizes your existing or planned barn footprint.

Single Side Cow Free Stall
Perimeter Setup

Single-Row Stalls

Optimized for Wall Mounting

Space-saving design intended for side-wall installation or narrow barn pens. Includes heavy-duty wall brackets or standalone support posts.

Highest Density
Double Side Cow Free Stall
Head-to-Head Setup

Double-Row Stalls

Maximum Barn Efficiency

Cows face head-to-head, sharing central support posts. This significantly reduces the CapEx cost per stall and maximizes commercial housing density.

Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) & Planning Guide

Stall hardware is a rapid-payback commercial investment. Evaluate the welfare and yield impacts before construction.

1. Space & Layout Requirements

Proper sizing is crucial. Stalls that are too short cause cows to stand half-in, half-out, depositing manure on the bed. Stalls that are too wide allow diagonal lying. NexAgri stalls are completely adjustable via high-tension clamps to match the exact dimensions of your Holstein or Jersey herd.

Our Zhangjiagang engineering team provides exact CAD spacing calculations to ensure your alleyways and stall beds meet modern welfare standards.

2. Veterinary & Culled Cow Savings

Lameness is one of the top three reasons for involuntary culling in commercial dairies. Restrictive, outdated rails cause cows to strike the metal when standing up. Upgrading to our ergonomic lunge-space designs prevents these physical injuries, drastically reducing expensive veterinary interventions.

3. Direct Milk Yield Impact

When a cow lies down, blood flow through the udder increases by up to 30%. Correctly positioning the cow with proper neck rails encourages her to spend 12-14 hours resting. Every extra hour resting correlates directly with up to 1.5kg of additional milk per cow, per day, rapidly paying off the stall investment.

Technical Frequently Asked Questions

Expert technical answers to help you plan your commercial cow housing setup.

What is the optimal free stall size for my herd?
Stall dimensions depend entirely on the breed and weight of your cows. For typical mature Holsteins (650kg+), we recommend a width of 120-122cm. For Jerseys, 115cm is usually sufficient. When you request a quote, our Zhangjiagang engineers will provide precise CAD drawings tailored to your specific herd data to ensure perfect alignment.
How exactly do the stalls prevent hock injuries?
Injury prevention is achieved through our ergonomic loop geometry. By correctly positioning the neck rail and brisket board, the cow lies down centered in the stall without striking the steel dividers. Combined with high-rebound rubber mattresses, this eliminates the hard contact points that cause abrasions and swelling.
Is hot-dip galvanizing really necessary for barn steel?
Absolutely. The combination of manure, urine, and moisture in a dairy barn creates a highly corrosive environment. NexAgri stalls are hot-dip galvanized *after* fabrication and welding. This ensures every internal and external surface is coated in a thick layer (>80μm) of protective zinc, guaranteeing a 20+ year rust-free lifespan.
Do your overseas installations require on-site welding?
No. Our entire structural framework utilizes a modular 'Bolt-Together' design. We provide heavy-duty cast and pressed clamps along with detailed 3D CAD drawings. This allows your local mechanical team to assemble the stalls securely without destroying the galvanized coating through welding.
