Hi John Yes, I'm certain it's what meant, but don't think we've hit on the right translation yet. Maybe the direct translation is the best? Laying areas - there are obviously more than one which implies a large cattle farm. Organic? Sounds like it, but the Swiss are more humane anyway and nearly everything grown there is organic more or less.
John Speese Aug 5, 2019:
Kidding aside, I think that that is exactly what as meant here, Ramey. You'd usually drag a pasture after the cattle have been moved to another one in order to break up the manure so that it gets more easily incorporated in the soil as natural fertilizer rather than physically remove it. If it ever got so thick that you had to physically remove it, it would kill the pasture.

Animal-appropriate: Bovine lounge (just kidding!)
seehand Aug 5, 2019:
Auch Kühe lieben es, sich hinzulegen Die Liegeplätze: Die Kühe liegen während 9 bis 11 Stunden im Tag. 3 bis 4 Stunden davon sind Ruhezeit, in der sie in kurzen Etappen schlafen. Die Liegeplätze sollen einladend sein. Ideal sind trockene, weiche, verformbare Strohbetten. Es braucht genug Platz im Stall und die Liegestellen müssen so bemessen sein, dass die Kühe leicht und gerne abliegen und aufstehen. Die Masse sind gesetzlich vorgeschrieben.

Sounds more like pastures to me, otherwise, why remove the dung?

resting area

These sound like resting areas or rest stations where cattle can relax or rest, either in a free stall or outdoors.

Hi Ramey. Du hast recht, was Tierhaltung betrifft, wird's oft in der Schweiz tiergerechter betrieben als in anderen Laendern. Mit diesen sogenannten Bewegungsstaellen habe etwas Erfahrung und meiner Meinung nach sind sie ein Greuel. Effizienter moegen sie wohl sein, aber angenehm sind sie bestimmt nicht, weder fuer die Tiere noch fuer die Menschen.

resting places / resting stalls / resting pens

IMO these are designated spaces in the cattle barn specifically reserved for resting (which is important for the milk yield), with straw bedding or even with a mattress. These stalls can be opened up while the cows are gone and are then easily mucked out with a tractor.

https://patents.justia.com/patent/4715322
The barn has feeding and resting places where each animal is kept during feeding and rest in a separate stall defined by vertical parallel side stall partitions, the animals being free from restraining connections to the feeding table and said partitions

The lying time for a cow should be at least 12 hours a day, 14 hours a day if possible.

The ideal stall for cows therefore depends on size and shape.

yards/laying areas/courtyards/

I've failed to turn up anything better, and since its plural, I'm assuming this is a larger cattle farm with several barns. Our organic farmer here has a fresh-air courtyard for the calves attached to the barn.

Skip the laying/lying area - I think this is simply yards
Peer comment(s):
neutral Wendy Streitparth : Is that a typing error or USE? I would expect to find chickens in a laying area! "A dry lying area is essential for cow comfort. "

Hi Wendy, it's a typo - laying/lying could never get them right.

Freestall cubicle

Freestalls (cubicles) provide dairy cows a clean, dry, comfortable resting space. Well-designed and properly maintained freestalls are a key component in a freestall housing system.
