Le temps consacr\u00e9 \u00e0 l'alimentation n'a pas \u00e9t\u00e9 affect\u00e9. La r\u00e9duction du temps pass\u00e9 couch\u00e9 \u00e9tait principalement due \u00e0 une diminution de la fr\u00e9quence des p\u00e9riodes de repos : la dur\u00e9e moyenne des p\u00e9riodes de repos et de station debout \u00e9tait en fait plus \u00e9lev\u00e9e sur les sols en b\u00e9ton que sur les sols en caoutchouc. Ainsi, le principal effet du sol plus souple \u00e9tait d'augmenter la volont\u00e9 des vaches de changer de posture, c'est-\u00e0-dire de se coucher et de se lever. Une fois que les vaches \u00e9taient couch\u00e9es ou debout, elles continuaient \u00e0 rester couch\u00e9es ou debout pendant une p\u00e9riode plus courte sur le sol plus souple. Les r\u00e9sultats actuels confirment ceux de Haley et al. (2001), qui ont observ\u00e9 un sch\u00e9ma similaire sur une p\u00e9riode plus courte. Les r\u00e9sultats actuels sugg\u00e8rent que les bovins ne se sont pas adapt\u00e9s aux sols plus durs, du moins au cours des 16 premi\u00e8res semaines de lactation. Ces r\u00e9sultats confirment les conclusions relatives aux stalles libres, dans lesquelles il a \u00e9t\u00e9 d\u00e9montr\u00e9 que les sols souples augmentaient le temps pass\u00e9 couch\u00e9 et l'acceptabilit\u00e9 des stalles (Tucker et al., 2003 ; Wagner-Storch et al., 2003 ; Fulwider et Palmer 2004). \u00bb<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.animat.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/shearer.pdf\">Article complet<\/a><\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5d2ce35 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"5d2ce35\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-76ce7a1 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"76ce7a1\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-18d08db e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"18d08db\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-df59496 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"df59496\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Consultez notre brochure<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-417cf10 elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"417cf10\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dpopup%3Aopen%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6IjEwOTkiLCJ0b2dnbGUiOmZhbHNlfQ%3D%3D\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Demandez-en une copie<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-73ed2dd e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"73ed2dd\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2ffa0c3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"2ffa0c3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Commencez d\u00e8s aujourd\u2019hui<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cfbda52 elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"cfbda52\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"https:\/\/www.animat.ca\/fr\/contact\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Contactez-nous<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cOur results showed that cows kept in tie stalls with hard concrete floors spend more time per day standing without feeding and tended to spend less time lying.

Once the cows were lying down or standing, they continued to lie or stand for a shorter period of time on the softer flooring. The current results confirm those of Haley et al. (2001), who found a similar pattern over a shorter period of time. The present results suggest that cattle did not adapt to the harder floors, at least over the first 16 wk of lactation. These results confirm findings for free stalls, in which soft stall floors have been shown to increase lying time and stall acceptability (Tucker et al., 2003; Wagner-Storch et al., 2003; Fulwider and Palmer 2004).\u201d","og_url":"https:\/\/www.animat.ca\/fr\/effect-of-softer-flooring-in-tie-stalls-on-resting-behaviour-leg-injuries-of-lactating-cows\/","og_site_name":"Animat","article_published_time":"2025-07-18T16:02:21+00:00","article_modified_time":"2025-07-18T16:59:38+00:00","og_image":[{"width":2048,"height":1536,"url":"https:\/\/www.animat.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Chili-20-1-2048x1536-1.jpg","type":"image\/jpeg"}],"author":"Sabrina","twitter_card":"summary_large_image","twitter_misc":{"Written by":"Sabrina","Est. reading time":"2 minutes"},"schema":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Article","@id":"https:\/\/www.animat.ca\/effect-of-softer-flooring-in-tie-stalls-on-resting-behaviour-leg-injuries-of-lactating-cows\/#article","isPartOf":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.animat.ca\/effect-of-softer-flooring-in-tie-stalls-on-resting-behaviour-leg-injuries-of-lactating-cows\/"},"author":{"name":"Sabrina","@id":"https:\/\/www.animat.ca\/#\/schema\/person\/b04d1463e68fa83679fbfea587470f37"},"headline":"Effect of Softer Flooring in Tie Stalls on Resting Behaviour &#038;
