Calf Ventilation

Calf Ventilation System

Improves calf health & performance

JF McKenna’s Calf Ventilation System provides a constant supply of fresh air to all parts of the calf shed, which improves the health of calves and productivity.

Fresh air is critical to the health of calves, as dust, humidity, condensation and damp beds are all a precursor to pneumonia and health problems in animals. A lack of adequate ventilation will also lead to a build up of microoganisims and ammonia, which also threatens the animals health.

A custom length tube with multiple air holes distribute air evenly throughout the house, without creating draughts. The system provides positive supply of fresh air to the animal’s immediate location, diluting foul air and ensuring even temperatures irrespective of outside weather conditions.
