Farnam Equipment Products, a division of Farnam Companies, Inc., has several cooling systems, from portable to permanent, to keep your animals cool. Livestock producers know that when temperatures rise, animals become uncomfortable, feed intake decreases and productivity drops. The effects of heat stress can cause producers thousands of dollars in lost revenue. Similarly, horses are vulnerable to adverse effects of heat and humidity.
Humidity diminishes the speed of sweat evaporation, which is a horse's primary cooling mechanism.
Farnam Equipment offers several systems including the WayCool Portable Evaporative Cooler and the Versa Mist Portable Cooling System. On high speed, the 360-degree moveable air spout can blow air up to 55 miles per hour. The system, which takes less then five minutes to set up, includes a built-in switch that will turn the unit off immediately in case it gets knocked over. The Versa Mist reduces air temperature by as much as 35-degrees. Cool your barn automatically with the Automatic Mist Cool System that initiates cooling cycles when temperatures rise to pre-programmed thermostat settings.
