High temperature in summer has great influence on beef cattle. How to implement cooling measures for beef cattle?

In the process of beef cattle breeding, it is greatly affected by the temperature in the barn, and the effect of high temperature and humidity on beef cattle is intensified in summer. Therefore, it is very important to find economical and effective cooling technology and to configure cooling facilities for the cowshed.

Beef cattle

1. Heat insulation measures of beef cattle barn. Choose the outer protective structure material with good thermal insulation and suitable price. The summer sun shines on the roof of the barn and is easy to spread to the barn. In order to improve the thermal insulation performance of the barn roof, the ventilation roof can be used to build the roof into two storeys, the air between the layers will become lighter, discharged from the exhaust outlet, and cold air flows in, thus reducing heat. The roof of the beef barn and the sunny wall should have a light-colored flat outer surface to reduce the thermal radiation of the sun.

2. The cooling of beef cattle barn. In order to reduce the temperature of the surrounding environment of the beef cattle barn, a flat plate can be added to the window to block the sunlight from above the window; for the cattle barn with a playground or solar greenhouse, an awning or planting vines can be set up to shade the sun. Tree planting and greening in summer can reduce solar radiation heat and help to reduce the temperature of the environment around the beef cowshed. Therefore, it is recommended to plant trees in and around beef cattle farms, but it is not suitable for a variety of tall trees to affect ventilation and attract wild birds, which is disadvantageous to epidemic prevention.

3. Ventilation measures of beef cattle barn. When the temperature inside the barn is higher than that outside in summer, ventilation can not only take away the heat in the barn, but also increase the airflow speed, take away the heat when passing through the beef cattle, and promote the evaporation and heat dissipation of the beef cattle at the same time. Chillers, fans and other facilities can be installed to enhance ventilation.

4. The layout of cowshed buildings. The distance between buildings and cattle barns should not only consider epidemic prevention and daylighting, but also consider ventilation, the layout should be reasonable, the distance should not be too small, generally not less than 10 meters. Beef cattle barn structure, in order to facilitate ventilation, should not be set up gable, each circle partition wall, it is best to use iron fence. The position of the vent should be arranged reasonably in order to increase the air flow speed in the house and ensure that the air flow is uniform and can pass through the beef cattle. The air inlet is located in the positive pressure area and the exhaust outlet is located in the negative pressure area to ensure that the barn has a passing wind, and the air inlet should be evenly arranged to ensure uniform ventilation in the barn, so that the beef cattle in all parts of the barn can feel the cool air. In order to make the air flow around the beef body, floor windows can be set up for ventilation.

5. Evaporation and cooling is. In the high temperature environment, beef cattle mainly rely on evaporation to dissipate heat, and when the ambient temperature is higher than the body surface temperature, the body can only rely on evaporation to maintain body heat balance. therefore, spraying beef cattle directly can effectively alleviate the heat stress of beef cattle; at the same time, ground water spraying, roof spraying and house spray can all play the purpose of environmental cooling.
