In summer, cows can already experience heat stress from 20° C. Sufficient air circulation helps to address this problem and contributes to optimal milk production.

When it's warm, the adjustable system is fully open to ensure maximum air intake. This ventilation is automatically boosted by fans from 20°C, or when there is no wind. At winter temperatures, the sails are almost completely open. At the top, the air inlet is maintained, without direct draught on the dairy cattle. The fans are then turned off. Dry air means lower risk of infection In order to prevent the spread of disease, the pursuit of an optimal stable climate is of great importance. Moreover, the number of cows per barn has strongly increased in recent years, which is accompanied by increased disease pressure. Ventilation makes the barn drier and makes it more difficult for germs to survive. Ventilation also ensures optimum air exchange in young stock barns.
