Optimizing Summer Ventilation: Cooling Pad & Exhaust Fan Synergy

Dec 05,2025

Livestock producers combat summer heat stress effectively by integrating Exhaust Fans with Cooling Pads (Evaporative Pads). The exhaust fans create essential negative pressure, drawing hot air out of enclosed barns (poultry, swine). Simultaneously, incoming air is forced through water-saturated cooling pads, causing evaporative cooling that significantly lowers the air temperature entering the building. This combination dramatically improves animal comfort, feed intake, and growth rates during peak summer months, safeguarding productivity.
