Have you ever seen a cow use a toilet? Continue watching and you'll see exactly that...

On this episode of Zoom Around the World, we visit the Netherlands to see how dairy farmer Jan Willem Tijken uses this innovative technology.

CowToilet is a Hanskamp product, a company focused on dairy farming innovation from the Netherlands.

The CowToilet is an automatic and voluntary urination system and is now an integral part of the Tijken family farm system.  

The toilet collects urine directly from the source separately from faeces, enabling both nutrients to be optimally used separately for grassland management. By ensuring that the urine does not come into contact with the faeces, considerably less ammonia is formed making for a healthier climate.
