Live Stock Ventilation

BENEFITS OF USING THE PROCTOR GROUP AIRCARE SYSTEM

“Dust, Cobwebs, Condensation, Humid Atmosphere and Damp Beds” a precursor to pneumonia and health problems and yet standard conditions for housed livestock. A lack of adequate ventilation leads to a build up of ammonia and micro organisms. Proctors Aircare system has been used to ventilate over 4000 Calf and Cattle buildings helping to prevent pneumonia and other health problems. The Aircare ventilation system ensures;

Positive air movement
Air distribution to the animals immediate environment
Drier beds
Simple installation
Low running costs

Variable ventilation rate With the use of machines for bedding up increasing dust levels in cattle sheds, also milk machines leading to areas of calf pens with higher activity, then ventilation of calf and cattle buildings houses is more important now than ever before.

Calf Care Means

POSITIVE SUPPLY OF FRESH AIR
EVEN, DROUGHT FREE AIR DISTRIBUTION
EASY TO INSTALL.
SIMPLE CONTROL
ECONOMIC TO RUN

The Problem

Cattle Pneumonia is the disease that causes most concern to rearers of calves.

Anything which increases stress or lowers the animals resistance to new infections, such as changes in nutrition, mixing with other stock or poor ventilation can lead to an outbreak.

The Cost

Lost performance is by far the greatest cost of an outbreak of pneumonia .

Typically ..

6% of total costs are accounted for by calf deaths
16% of total costs goes in treatment and vet's bills
78% is lost performance which is never regained
