1 Vetsmarttubes Cooling Tubes Agricultural Product for Light and Air

2 2 WE GUARANTEE FOR COWS: Cooling and ventilation via fresh air flowing directly to the animal Cooling via faster air speeds No energy loss 100% of the fresh air is delivered to the livestock area Optimum cooling performance can only be guaranteed through application of our globally unique computation method based on 3D barn environment simulations. Check out our money-back guarantee. Ventilation system for cooling Given the immense metabolic capacity of modern dairy cows, high levels of body heat arise during the lactation and digestion processes. When rising outdoor temperatures prevent adequate heat dissipation by natural means, cattle will suffer heat stress. In the case of dairy cows, this condition results, among other things, in a higher cell count, lower concentrations of milk constituents and, most importantly, a reduction in milk yield. Guaranteed better barn environment Cooling tubes can be used to create ideal indoor environmental conditions in cubicles, at feeding stations, in group areas, in milking parlours and in holding areas, regardless of the barn architecture. High-precision ventilation, designed on the basis of 3D barn environment simulations, helps to prolong lying times, promote constant fodder consumption and boost milk yields. All cooling systems can be used in conjunction with state-of-the-art control technology (automatic environmental control, EC fans etc.) so as to enable year-round use. How it works: HUESKER offers a totally new concept. Applying comprehensive veterinary expertise, the actual conditions on site are assessed. Custom-made tubes are then designed and optimised in a number of calculation stages using complex computing methods. Exploiting veterinary know-how and physical fluid dynamics expertise, the production method produces each tube to precisely meet the commensurate application requirements.

3 3 Effective cooling with 3D barn climate simulation INPUT: Exact position on the cow Precise analysis of exhaust air Highest energy efficiency Inch-perfect measurement Ideal air exchange rate Optimal air velocity Max 36,00 Air velocity in m/s* Min (=0) 30,00 Surface temperature in m/s* High air velocity at the cow s neck Cold air circulates around the cow s barrel Minimal air movement at the feeding trough Reduced surface temperature at the cow s body * When stable air-flow conditions have established Benefits for feeding stations and cubicles: Constant fodder consumption, even at temperatures over 25 C No impact on fodder moisture content Uniform distribution and occupation of cubicles Longer lying times through efficient heat stress prevention Air velocities tailored to requirements for specific areas Cubicle rows

4 4 Benefits for milking parlours and holding areas: Heat stress reduction through precision-directed air flows in milking parlour Ideal conditions for milkers thanks to targeted fresh air supply in milking pit Reduced fly nuisance through precisely designed air flows around cows High air change rates guaranteed by factoring extract air parameters into computation Milking parlour and holding areas Benefits for group areas: Uniform distribution over entire resting area, without any congregation of animals Variable cooling effect offered by local high-velocity air cones Optional control functions for special-needs areas Group areas Comparison of costs for investment and energy Project: New free stall barn for 250 dairy cows Variant: Tunnel ventilation Rows of axial fans above feeding places/cubicles Tube ventilation system Ventilation tubes above feeding places/cubicles Investment costs: EC axial fans 8 ventilation tubes à 50 m 800,- per fan 45,000 for total system Delivery costs 500 including delivery costs Total: 16,500 19,700 45,000 Running energy costs per year: 24 fans à max. 1.5 kw max. 36 kw 8 Ventilatoren à max. 1,1 kw max. 8,8 kw 900 hours at 100 % 900 hours at 100 % 1500 hours at 90 % 1500 hours at 90 % 2200 hours at 75 % 2200 hours at 75 % 1500 hours at 60 % 1500 hours at 60 % 2660 hours OFF 2660 hours OFF 119,340 kwh 29,172 kwh Total scenario 1*: scenario 2*: 16,708 33,416 4,084 8,168 Depreciation 10 years + running costs per year: Total scenario 1*: 18,358 18,678 scenario 2*: 35,066 35,386 *Electricity price scenario 1: 0,14/kWh; scenario 2: 0,28/kWh (may vary by region) 8,584 12,668
