Barn cooling improves animal comfort, reduces stress, and boosts milk production.
By maintaining an optimal body temperature, barn cooling enhances animal comfort, thereby contributing to increased milk production.
Reducing heat stress, barn cooling promotes an increase in food intake by animals, which in turn can lead to higher milk production.

Introducing fans and heavy droplet cooling systems in the waiting area for cows before milking is a crucial practice for the welfare and productivity of your herd. Let’s delve into why these systems are essential and how they improve the environment for cows, optimizing milk production.
In the waiting area, cows are packed closely together, leading to the production of additional body heat. This rise in body temperature can cause heat stress and discomfort to the animals, negatively impacting milk production and their overall well-being.
To counteract this issue, installing targeted fans helps improve airflow within the waiting area. The fans maintain a cool and well-ventilated environment, thereby reducing heat and discomfort for the cows.
Additionally, the use of heavy droplet cooling systems provides direct and effective cooling for the cows. These systems spray water over the animals, allowing the water to evaporate and thus reducing the cows’ body temperature.
