VENTILATION FACTS - - -
Cows need more pounds of air every
day than the combined weight of feed
and water
Poultry diseases are better controlled
and prevented when litter and air is
kept dry.
Cows produce best at temperatures of
about 50 degrees.
Fresh air movement aids in curbing
respiratory problems
A cow gives off almost 2 gallons of
water daily in breathing - automatic
ventilation removes this excess mois
ture from the barn
Thermostatically controlled, automa
tic louvers provide better working
conditions in the barn
Moisture removal from the barn in
