Manual livestock brushes: Cost-effective and efficient care for all types of animal husbandry
Enhance your animals' well-being
Manual livestock brushes are a cost-effective alternative to electric livestock brushes and offer numerous advantages for animal care in both professional and private animal husbandry. These brushes are ideal for animals with longer hair, small herds, and for creating multiple grooming opportunities. They provide a simple and effective way to enhance the well-being of your animals.
Discover our high-quality manual livestock brushes from Kerbl, specially designed to meet the needs of your animals.
Advantages of manual livestock brushes:
- No power connection required: Scrubbing brushes do not require a power connection, making them a convenient choice for any environment.
- Lower Costs: Manual livestock brushes are not only cheaper to purchase but also incur no ongoing energy costs.
- Flexible mounting options: Since no power connection is required, these brushes can be installed almost anywhere, including pastures or remote barns without electricity. Additionally, the need for special weather protection is eliminated, simplifying outdoor installation and saving additional costs.
Self-care for your animals
- Cost-effective care: Manual livestock brushes allow animals to brush themselves at a low investment cost, with no ongoing costs. Brush elements can be replaced if necessary.
- Natural grooming behaviour: In the wild, animals groom themselves by rubbing against trees and bushes through their movements. This behaviour can be optimally imitated with manual brushes.
Promoting skin health
- Improved blood circulation: Regular use of these brushes stimulates blood circulation in the skin. This leads to better skin health and a shinier coat.
- Reduced risk of skin diseases: Grooming the coat reduces the risk of skin diseases and parasite infestation. Animals can determine the intensity themselves and rub intuitively as needed. Occupational Activity: Especially calves, young cattle, or even horses use brushes for occupational activity. They work on the bristles orally or push movable brushes in different directions playfully.

The high-quality construction guarantees a long lifespan and minimizes maintenance effort. The special coating also makes the spring corrosion-resistant, withstanding adverse weather conditions.

Kerbl's Post Brushes
Cylindrical design: The cylindrical shape of the post brushes allows access from all sides, enabling communal grooming. This innovative design ensures that animals can effectively free themselves from excess fur and dirt. The all-around brushes offer the advantage of reaching difficult-to-access body parts, providing comprehensive cleaning and massage.
Easy mounting: The brushes require only a fixed surface for ground mounting. Installation is straightforward and can be easily performed by two people. The Maxi post brush can also be anchored directly into the ground with a separately available ground anchor, allowing flexible placement outdoors. This is particularly practical for pastures and outdoor areas where stable anchoring is required. The ground anchor ensures secure and permanent anchoring, even with intensive use by multiple animals.
Robustness and durability: The post brushes from Kerbl are made from high-quality, durable materials that withstand daily wear and tear. They are weather-resistant and well-suited for outdoor use. The bristles are designed to be robust enough to ensure thorough cleaning but gentle enough not to injure the animals' skin.
Versatile application: These post brushes are suitable for various animal species. They not only promote grooming but also the well-being of the animals, as brushing can have a calming effect. Additionally, they encourage social interaction, as animals can share the brushes.
Safety features: The post brushes are designed without sharp edges or dangerous components that could cause injuries. The stable construction and secure mounting ensure that the brushes do not tip over or come loose even with intensive use. In summary, Kerbl's post brushes offer an ideal solution for grooming and the well-being of your animals. With their thoughtful design, easy installation, and robust construction, they are a valuable addition to any agricultural operation or animal owner.
To the Post Scrubber HAPPYCOW
The HAPPYCOW Bully Scratch Brush
Scratch brushes are indispensable in dairy barns. Once you've seen the animals enjoying grooming, you won't want to miss this sight. The HAPPYCOW Bully scratch brush is a scrubbing option specifically designed for fattening cattle. In the cattle fattening sector and especially with fattening bulls, animals test their strength, subjecting the scratch brush to entirely different stress than in other cattle farming. The steel frame is particularly robust and withstands the toughest demands of the animals. The brushes are made from high-quality, durable bristles and, if needed, come with replaceable brush strips. Replacement is possible from the front side alone due to the recessed screws in the frame
Pens in cattle fattening systems are also often structured, limiting the mounting options for grooming solutions. Position the scratch brush best in the middle area between feeding and resting zones. Thanks to the elongated holes on both sides, the brush is flexibly mountable on pens or walls, making it particularly versatile.
A Scratch Plate as a low-cost alternative for cattle fattening
Not everyone is immediately ready to equip the entire barn with scratch brushes. We offer our cost-effective and durable scratch plate as an introduction to scouring options in cattle fattening. In addition to the perforated surface, the edges offer an additional option for targeted rubbing on the head and rump. We have also focussed on flexible mounting options for the scratch plate on the housing and wall. The scratch plate is suitable for the animal welfare cattle fattening initiative.
