hair removal<\/a> with a low-temperature flame, which is much faster and less stressful for the animals. It only needs to be carried out once every 6 to 8 weeks, according to how hairy the cows are and the season.<\/span><\/p>\nWith a hair remover like Dana from Express, you have a handy tool that can be used everywhere, in both stalls and milking parlours. It takes less than 10 seconds to remove hair from a cow\u2019s udder. The \u201csoft\u201d flame (with low oxygen content) produces a sensation of heat, but never burning. It is also very hygienic, which is not always the case with shaving.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nWith its 1.20-metre reach, farmers can slide the hair remover between the cow\u2019s limbs; alternatively, when this is too tricky, they can approach the udders from the side. They can accurately adjust the burner angle using the tilt mechanism. They then simply light the hair remover, which runs on gas, with the Piezo system activated by the tool\u2019s trigger.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nDana weighs 850\u00a0grams and has an attached cartridge, meaning that is doesn\u2019t require a gas hose, which is liable to get in the way and wear over time.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Bovine mastitis (article in french) is a constant risk for farmers.
