Heat stress can affect milk production, weight gain, and breeding cycles. Other effects of heat stress on cattle are increased mortalities, lower disease resistance, and fertility loss.

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
  • Increased profits
