How Much Cubicle Lime Do I Need Per Cow?

Keeping cubicles clean and dry is an important part of winter housing management, particularly for dairy cows. But how much cubicle lime should you actually be using? A useful guideline from Teagasc is 1 tonne of lime for every 20 cows over a five-month winter. This works out at approximately 50kg of cubicle lime per cow for a 150-day housing period.
