Absolutely! For high milk production the cow body MUST be in the right temperature, otherwise she will invest energy in order to balance the body temperature, energy that we need to produce more milk; the right diet will give more efficiency.
That is true, to buy fans is not enough! You should create the right protocols of using them during all the year and especially in the hot season.
Yes, all that mention above effects positively on cow comfort and prevent from the cow stress situation: a happy cow is a productive cow!
CMP solution is the most efficient way to prevent heat stress. By choosing CMP, you choose low electricity consumption, high fan reliability and low operation cost, compare to other companies is proven. The know-how and the knowledge of CMP is more than excellent!
Agree in 100%, the professional results of the farm that start to use CMP fans and CMP protocols are significantly improve in very short time. Happy and healthy cow = better milk and efficiency farm.
Yes, only ventilation can’t eliminate the whole heat stress and decrease the body temperature of the cows to normal temperature during the summer. The way to do it is FORCE cooling, combination of high-speed wind and wetting of the cows, this process need multiple times during the day and the night in order to maintain the temperature low.
Although feeding lines is one of the places for cooling cows, I refer also to mention the cooling in waiting area and in large farm in additional cooling yard. The ability for force cooling in this 2 areas much more easier from operation side and promise that all the cows will cooled in the same quality and time. CMP realizes the best cooling yard systems and waiting areas that I have seen in my long experience as consultant worldwide.
