Dairy Barn Ventilation and Humidity Impact
A dairy cow emits one to two gallons of water in 24 hours, and barns housing many cows must vent and insulate to keep air dry. Without proper ventilation moisture creates a damp, unhealthy atmosphere that lowers herd production and disease resistance, increasing susceptibility to infections.
Insulate Farm Buildings for Temperature and Humidity
The Philadelphia Record notes farmers increasingly value temperature and humidity control in farm buildings. Insulating board, installed at low cost over interior walls, helps correct unsatisfactory conditions and serves dairy barns, stables, brood houses, and laying houses. It also acts as a regulator in cool and milk houses and for other purposes.
