Ventilating cow barns for healthy cattle housing
Advice on barn ventilation emphasizes moving air with fans sized per cow and thermostats set around 45 to 50 degrees. It covers cold air inlets, keeping fans clean, avoiding drafts, and blocking unused barn areas. Calf and horse barns need more air movement and drier air, with heat lamps and dry cold favored for calves. Maintain proper thermostat operation for best morning air.
