animal cooling solutions

Equestrian centers and Stud Farms, in hotter climates require our WATER FOG SYSTEM to cool horses and riders. Systems can be used indoors and outdoors shielding horses from the adverse effects of direct sunlight, cooling and protecting the animals from flying insects and also suppressing dust. Keeping your horse cool and comfortable during the summer is absolutely vital. When high ambient temperatures and humidity combine, body heat may accumulate faster than your horse can get rid of it. The fact is, horses are better at keeping themselves warm than cooling themselves off.

WATER FOG SYSTEM uses atomized water droplets to "Flash Cool" the hot, stale air in your barn or run-in shed. So it doesn't just move the hot air around, it cools and conditions it. That can help your horse avoid heat-related threats like hypothermia, muscle tremors or weakness.

In conclusion, fog systems will improve the overall physical condition for any animal related operation. They are great for cages, kennels, stables, barns, zoos and shelters. They will protect the animals from the adverse effects of extreme summer conditions. The systems will also repel flying insects and help minimize or eliminate dust and other airborne particles.

This improved quality of life can have a noticeable effect, especially when dealing with highly prized racehorses. By reducing temperatures, a typical hog farm will improve feeding cycles which directly increases the size and value of the animal

Systems installed in barns humidify the air and keep animals in excellent physical condition. These systems can be installed in a variety of stalls, kennels and cages that house animals, including zoos and shelters. Our Fog systems are used in poultry cooling, as birds have no natural means of perspiration, chicken and turkey farms loose millions of dollars each year due to extreme heat waves that kill poultry.

Cooling Dairy Cows During Hot Weather

Other viable animal applications include the equestrian and hog industries. As with cattle and poultry, the main benefit is improved environmental conditions for the animals.

Animal cooling One of the more common uses for cooling with a fog system has been in the cattle and poultry industries. In both cases, effective cooling systems can dramatically improve the overall operation. The flash evaporation achieved with a fog system cools without excessive moisture thereby eliminating infections and unsanitary conditions associated with other less effective cooling systems.

For cattle, the cooling system reduces heat stress providing improved physical metabolism. This equates to enhanced milk production, increased feed intake, better weight gain and faster reproduction. For poultry, the fog system will compensate for their own lack of a natural means of heat reduction. This helps eliminate premature aging and unnecessary losses in stock. It also improves their physical metabolism leading to increased egg production.

Dairy and beef cattle are able to adapt to a wide range of environmental conditions. However, prolonged periods of high temperature alter metabolism and depress feed intake, milk production, weight gain and reproduction.

There have been many studies done that agree, utilizing a fogging system at the corral manager is effective and cost efficient. Cooling the cattle, produced a milk yield of 8% loss whereas the loss for non-cooled cows was 12% and beef cattle maintained their market weight. The fog system is a perfect environmental choice, in comparison to sprinklers or sprays. The fog flash evaporates cooling the surrounding air without saturating the animals and leading to unsanitary conditions in pens and parlors.
