Optimize Your Farm with Proper Exhaust Fan Maintenance

Maintaining your exhaust fan systems, including shutters, belts, bearings, and props, is crucial for keeping optimal conditions in swine and poultry buildings. Fans play a vital role in controlling temperature, humidity, and air quality, directly impacting animal health and productivity.

Benefits of Well-Maintained Exhaust Fans

• Prevent Heat Stress: High temperatures can reduce feed intake, lower growth rates, and increase morbidity and mortality in swine and poultry. Efficient airflow keeps barn temperatures safe, enhancing animal welfare.
• Reduce Humidity: Excess moisture breeds harmful bacteria and mold, leading to respiratory issues and other health problems. Well-maintained fans mitigate these risks, ensuring a healthier environment.
• Improve Air Quality: Poor ventilation can cause harmful gas buildup, leading to respiratory distress and decreased productivity. Regular maintenance ensures cleaner air, promoting better health and growth.
