Ventilation

The Ventilation in a barn is one of the most important parts you have to make perfect. A high productive cow needs about 400 m³ fresh air in hour and that’s a lot, because it’s just perfect if you can manage the air movement in a way, where you have no wind. The next problem which is growing is that you can get problems with the temperature. In winter, everything like the silage, the milking parlour or the water can get frozen and it’s also not fine to work in a cold barn. In summer it can get too warm.
