Description de la mesure
Reduced heat stress through additional ventilators
Commentaires sur la durabilité
During heat periods the animals suffer from heat stress. Ventilators help the cows to cool down,to increase the animal comfort, to keep them healthy and to keep the milk production stable. Some investments are needed and the ventilators need additional energy. This is preferable with renewable energy (GHG would become neutral). Advice is probably needed to implement this measure.
