As the costs of high-quality bedding material have increased enormously in recent years, a growing number of innovative dairy operations are turning to organic bedding material produced on their own farms. This consists of the undigested fibrous material (food remains) extracted from manure. The BRU concept (Bedding Recovery Unit) developed by FAN separates, dries and hygienically prepares undigested fibres from the slurry. This can yield a tremendous reduction in operating costs while at the same time optimising milk production. Because it makes use of an ecological cycle, it eliminates the expense of purchasing bedding as well as the corresponding disposal costs. The organic material is continuously produced directly on the farm and is therefore always available.
