Stray voltage in cow sheds is often invisible, but its impact on animal comfort, milk production, and long-term herd performance can be significant.
Even low-level electrical interference can cause stress, reluctance to enter the shed, incomplete milk let-down, and unexplained production losses.
Our stray voltage testing service is designed to identify and quantify these issues using accurate, industry-proven methods carried out under real operating conditions.
At the completion of testing, you will be provided with a detailed, easy-to-understand report outlining all measurements taken, any areas of concern identified, and clear recommendations for corrective action where required. This gives you confidence that potential electrical issues are either ruled out or clearly defined, allowing you to make informed decisions to protect cow welfare, maximise production, and ensure your shed is performing at its best.

To whom it may concern.
In the Spring of 25 we, Pannetts Dairies, had an idea that something in the cowshed was not right. a lot of cows were having a shit on cups off for no obvious reason. It was so bad that the Automatic Teat Sprayer was covered in manure and could not work properly anymore.
About 12 years ago we had the shed checked out for stray electricity and we thought maybe it is good to do it again.
Lawrence McCormick from Stray Voltage Solutions came out and found several serious issues that made the cows very uncomfortable, particularly getting sprayed by the teat sprayer and stepping off the platform. The milking process has massively improved and we recommend everybody that has a new shed or a shed that has not been tested for a while to have it checked as cows are far more susceptible to stray electricity than human beings.
