Keep Your Cows or Poultry in Ideal Producing Condition
MARTIN MULTI-SPEED VENTILATING SYSTEM
VENTILATION FACTS - - -
Cows need more pounds of air every day than
the combined weight of feed and water.
Poultry diseases are better controlled and pre
vented when litter and air is kept dry.
Cows produce best at temperatures of about
50 degrees
Fresh air movement aids in curbing respira
tory problems.
A cow gives off almost 2 gallons of water daily
in breathing - automatic ventilation removes
this excess moisture from the bam
Thermostatically controlled, automatic louvers
provide better working conditions in the barn.
Moisture removal from the barn incraeess life
of building.
