If you already use recommended ventilation rates, but you want more air, in stall paddle fans on the ceiling before you put more fans in the wall. * Earth tube cooling. This is an effective method - but for snout cooling sows only. To draw all the incoming air through earth tubes would be impractical in summer since it would take too many tubes. Unless you have your own backhoe, installation is expensive. Down-front cylinder for out-front performance. L3/M3/F3 Gleaner combines. Superior crop flow control. That’s what you can expect from a new Gleaner conventional combine. The cylinder is just is*/2 inches from the header auger, helping you avoid plugging and grain loss.

Lancaster, Pa 717-397-5179 That’s partially offset since the earth tubes can also be used to preheat air in winter. * Spray Nozzles. These are popular because they get the animals wet and that’s the most effective way to cool a hog. They’re good for finishing buildings, or breeding/gestation areas. They should not be used in a farrowing house. Choose a nozzle size and regulate the spraying time so that each hog receives at least .02 gallons per hour. For example, if you had 25 hogs per pen and one nozzle/pen that puts out 3 gallons 'per hour, the nozzle should run about 2 minutes out of 10. * Drip Coolers. These work on the same principal as the spray nozzle. They make the animal wet and cool, without adding DEUTZ ALLIS See what sets us apart. MESSICK FARM EQUIPMENT, INC. Elizabethtown.

They’re ideal for sows in farrowing crates since you can wet the neck and shoulders of the sows without chilling the baby pigs. * Evaporative Coolers (Wet pads through which incoming air is drawn). These are better than nothing at all but the industry seems to be moving away from them. They add to the humidity and they’re least effective when you need the cooling the most - on hot muggy days. * Foggers. These spray a fine mist which does cool the air somewhat, but they also increase humdity. So like the evaporative coolers, the industry is steering away from them. * Air conditioners. These work great but the electric bill will cost you an arm and a leg because of the high ventilation rates used in swine facilities.
