“The cow had a difficult calving and shows sciatic syndrome with milk fever. The cow was placed on the cushion, she stayed there for 4 days, until she was able to stand alone.
This technique is great because for 4 days nonstop the cushion system kept the cow in a comfortable and normal position for her, without pain. With forceps, you can only do it in short sequences because it quickly becomes painful for the animal.
Here the air-cow system made it possible to keep the cow in an ideal position for recovery and allowed an animal to be revalidated over a few days which, without this system, would certainly have been euthanized.
However, if we want to obtain the best results, it is a system to be used directly, and to optimize it it must be placed under the animal from the beginning of the pathology, to avoid all the injuries associated with unsuccessful lifting attempts. The option of moving the animal is a real advantage.
It's complicated to take care of a cow lying at the end of a park. With the Air-cow cushion you can lift the cow and put it in good conditions. It can also be moved painlessly. Using this system optimizes the chances of recovering the animal. “
