Colorado Farm boosts profitability with Munters cross-ventilation system

Suffering from heat stress

Faced common dairy farm challenges, Colorado Farm struggled to maintain stable milk production during hot summer months. Heat stress can adversely impact milk yield, leading to financial losses.

Munters cross ventilation system: a game-changer

To help ensure stable milk production, Munters proposed a comprehensive cross-ventilation system, comprised of 44 Munters WF50 exhaust fans, an 80-meter-long cooling pad wall, and controllers. The system effectively reduced temperatures in the barn interior by up to 10°C. This precise temperature control and an airspeed exceeding three meters per second created a comfortable environment for the cows, boosting milk production, conception rates and overall profitability. Plus, its automation capabilities ensured optimal performance and reduced manual labor, further enhancing dairy farm efficiency. Financial benefits and sustainability Improvements in milk production and conception rates translated into tangible financial benefits. Return on investment in the Munters cross-ventilation system was forecast at less than three years. Moreover, the energy-efficient design of the system aligns with Colorado Farm’s commitment to sustainability practices.
