Cooling

Cows cannot dissipate their heat load and do not sweat effectively. Therefore, they rely on respiration to cool themselves. In addition, heavy cattle are more affected by heat stress than lighter-weight cattle. Increased fat deposition impairs cattle's ability to regulate their heat. Because cows cannot dissipate heat, this can have severe consequences during hot periods, including reduced dry matter intake, a significant drop in milk production, weight loss, breathing problems, reduced reproductive performance, and even death in extreme situations.

SKOV-SECCO offers two cooling solutions for the barn: high-pressure cooling and pad cooling. Great emphasis is placed on quality and flexibility when developing SKOV-SECCO’s cooling products. Quality is ensured by using very reliable components with long service life. Both cooling systems are built from standard components that can easily be adapted to the individual barn.
