By DeLaval
Last reviewed: December 2025
Motorized rotating cow brush that activates when touched, providing grooming stimulation that improves cow comfort, cleanliness, and blood circulation.
The DeLaval Swinging Cow Brush SCB is a motorized grooming brush that activates automatically when a cow makes contact. The brush rotates at a gentle speed optimized for cow grooming preferences, providing massage-like stimulation.
Research demonstrates that cows will voluntarily use brushes multiple times per day when available, with usage providing benefits including improved blood circulation, removal of loose hair and parasites, and stress reduction. Some studies indicate milk production increases of 1+ kg per day.
The SCB features durable bristles designed for long life, a swinging mount that accommodates cows of different sizes, and quiet operation to minimize disturbance. The brush is easy to install and requires minimal maintenance.
