Combined with farming scenarios, different cattle groups and seasonal conditions, the key points are sorted by dimensions to balance ventilation effect, cattle health and energy consumption.
Seasonal Management
Summer (Heat Prevention Priority)
1.Goals: Lower temperature, remove moisture and ammonia gas, and relieve heat stress.
2.Operations: Fully open air inlets and run fans at full load; use evaporative cooling pads for auxiliary cooling. Keep the barn temperature ≤ 28°C and relative humidity between 60% and 75%.
3.Precautions: Avoid simultaneous high temperature and high humidity inside the barn, which may trigger mastitis and respiratory diseases.
Winter (Balancing Heat Retention and Air Exchange)
1.Core Principle: Prioritize heat preservation, and adopt frequent short-period ventilation. Never fully seal the barn for warmth.
2.Operations: Open windows or fans for short ventilation during warm daytime to expel ammonia and water vapor. Close most air inlets at night and only reserve tiny gaps for ventilation.
3.Indicators: Barn temperature ≥ 8°C for calves and ≥ 5°C for adult cattle; ammonia concentration ≤ 20 ppm with no pungent odor and no condensation on walls.
4.Precautions: Prevent direct cold wind from blowing onto cattle and bedding, which may cause colds, joint diseases and abortions.
Spring & Autumn (Transition Seasons)
Temperatures fluctuate greatly with large day-night temperature differences. Adjust air inlets and fans in real time according to ambient temperature. Increase ventilation at noon and reduce air intake in the morning and evening to maintain a stable barn environment.
