Livestock Cooling

Livestock Cooling Systems

“Heat stress is as dangerous to livestock as it is to humans.”

MEC’s cooling systems utilize evaporative cooling to reduce temperatures in barns, stables, corrals, and kennels. With the high pressure cooling system you can have precise temperature and humidity control to produce a comfortable environment for your animals or livestock. The system can be controlled by a computer or thermostat. In addition, an injector can be added to reduce the presence of flies and or mosquitoes.

Cooling, disinfecting, odour and pest control

Cool temperatures

By evaporation, high efficiency cooling can achieve maximum potential in any environment or climate without traditional problems of residual moisture. This is particularly effective in difficult climates of high relative humidity. For cooling large applications, the system is controlled by using multiple thermostats and optional zone controls.

Improve feed conversion

Maintains optimal temperature and other environmental factors conducive to normal caloric intake.

Reduce energy costs

Maintains ideal temperatures in closed or open housing allowing dairymen to maximize production regardless of high summer temperatures, while still eliminating the cost of ventilation. Energy costs are reduced by as much as 50% in controlled environment housing, as opposed to conventional cooling using ventilation.

Control dust

Dust and other contaminants are eliminated by controlling low relative humidity levels that contribute to this problem.

The dust control function is controlled by a programmable timing device which activates the system at preset intervals.

Decrease disease

Eliminates flies and pests which contribute to disease.

Controls dust and other disease spreading airborne contaminants.

Increase livability

Provides cooler temperatures without chilling drafts or residual moisture.

Prevents heat stress mortality and lower resistance to disease.

Purge odours

Odor neutralizing agents can be injected in to the system to ensure an odor-free environment. Metering of agent concentrates into the system is accomplished with an optional water treatment injection system. The aerosol quality of the particles improves distribution uniformity, while minimizing labour and chemical waste.
