Healthy air, comfortable cows
Ventilation and protection against heat stress are essential for healthy, productive cows. Fresh air prevents the accumulation of moisture, ammonia and germs, and is therefore the basis for a healthy barn climate. But in increasingly hot summers, dairy cows are finding it harder to cope. Heat stress is becoming more common and particularly affects high-production cows, leading to reduced feed intake, lower milk production, poorer fertility and hoof health problems.
A good ventilation- and heat stress plan prevents many of these problems. Vetvice helps you gain insight into the climate in your barn, the behavior of your cows and the risks specific to your farm. We combine knowledge of barn technology with cow comfort and practical management.
Depending on your situation, we will look at:
A well-thought-out plan ensures more peace and quiet in the barn, fewer health problems and a more stable production, even when temperatures rise. By investing in ventilation and cooling in a timely and smart manner, you can prepare your barn and your animals for the future.
