Hundreds of dollars are lost every year by dairymen who have been faced with the problem of slippery concrete flooring causing permanent injury to milking cows and heifers. One alternative is to roughen the surface using a wheel-mounted device called a scabbier, which has a series of air-driven hammers or bits with hardened steel points. U.S. reports indicate heat detection has been easier because cows are more sure on their feet and less afraid of falling. The "Scabbler" is distrib- uted in Canada by: Allan Fyfe Equipment, 261 Bowes Road, Thornhill (Highway #7 near Keele) Phone: 416-669-1313, and sells for $2878 complete (5 head L5 unit).
