Brush Usage in Husbandry Industry

It is very important that the environment and conditions in which the animals are raised meet the minimum standards in order for the development, adaptation, domestication, ethological needs and behaviors of the animals to be high in the enterprises. Brushing is important for animals. Grooming is very important for horses. The skin of horses is thick and porous, so they need itching. As horses scratch, their skin breathes. Itching is very important for skin health. They also become healthier both physically and mentally. Scratching brushes for pets can have different meanings. Some pets like itching, while others may not. However, it is very important to scan frequently, as ecto-parasitic (tick, lice, flea, etc.) in animals are revealed as they are scanned. Scratching brushes have a greater place in cattle breeding. The scratching brush is the perfect tool to meet the grooming needs of cows. It is safe, relieves stress and keeps the skin clean. A study has shown that cows that are groomed with a brush engage in more and longer grooming behavior than cows that cannot be brushed. Using a cow scratching brush increases meat and milk production. The reason is that active cows that are less stressed and relaxed will visit the feeder more often and thus consume more feed. Another benefit of the scratching brush is that it reduces the incidence of mastitis. One of the hypotheses on this subject is as follows; A clean cow's skin, including the hindquarters and tail, results in less udder contamination. Scratching brushes in cattle breeding regulate the circulation in cows and increase meat and milk yield. It ensures that the cows are well-groomed and relaxed by performing the grooming process. Grooming is very important to animals. It is important to choose specially produced brushes according to the skin and hair characteristics of the animals. Grooming is not an extra luxury life offered to the animal, it is an event that reflects the mental and physical quality of life of the animal.
