Dairy cows need a cool, comfortable environment during hot weather to prevent heat stress. Misting helps prevent heat stress by lowering temperatures and providing a more comfortable environment for the animals.
A misting system provides evaporative cooling. Evaporative cooling is the process of evaporating moisture from a surface, which decreases the surface’s temperature.
Benefits of a misting system
- Reduced heat stress
- Better animal health
- Reduced mortality
- Better quality and increased production
