Agpro, Inc. introduces the ultimate in cow cooling systems.
"Dairymen can now save money and make more milk with Agpro's new Cow Cooling System. This system enables the dairyman to manage every aspect of cow cooling for a more efficient operation particularly in the hottest summer months. By establishing thresholds and monitoring current temperatures and humidity in “real time”, this system automatically adjusts cow soakers and fans for maximum cow cooling. Dairy cows are cool weather animals.
Loss of milk production due to heat stress varies from 8 to 30% based upon various University studies of dairies in the Southeast. Not only is milk lost, but reproduction and overall herd health is diminished by heat stress. When cows are heat stressed, respiration and sweating rates increase in an effort to dissipate heat resulting in a decrease of dry matter intake and milk production.
The Agpro Cool Cow System is a combination of hardware and software that gives the dairyman complete control of how the cooling system operates. The cooling system uses an extremely reliable proprietary controller to read the current temperature and humidity, calculate a true temperature and humidity index, and then activate cow cooling apparatus as necessary to achieve and maintain the desired temperature.
Monitoring & Support
Agpro technicians monitor the status of the Cool Cow System via the internet. Performance reports are reviewed daily. If equipment failures are detected the dairy will be notified immediately so corrective action may be taken. The dairy manager can also monitor the status of the cooling system while away from the dairy. Consultation is provided concerning cow cooling strategies; setting changes can be made from the dairy or Agpro office via the internet.
More efficient usage of water and electricity results in a greener, more earth-friendly dairy, as well as a more profitable operation. This, coupled with increased milk production, allows the Agpro Cool Cow System to pay for itself in a few months. "
