Soaking & Fan Systems: The Smart Solution to Dairy Cow Heat Stress
Keep Your Herd Cool, Comfortable, and Productive
Heat stress is one of the biggest challenges in modern dairy farming. When temperatures rise, cows reduce their feed intake, milk production drops, and overall herd health can suffer. That’s why effective barn cooling is not optional—it’s essential.
At Bonawind, we combine soaking systems and high-performance ventilation fans to help dairy farmers fight back against heat stress and protect their herd’s productivity.
Soaking System – Targeted Cooling at the Cow Level
Our soaking system is designed to apply controlled amounts of water directly to the cows’ backs, especially around the headlock area. This water evaporates quickly with airflow, providing an efficient cooling effect.
Benefits:
Reduces core body temperature
Improves feed intake during hot weather
Easy to automate with timers or IOT systems
Water-efficient, no over-wetting of bedding
High-Performance Fans – Powerful Ventilation for Dairy Barns
We offer a wide range of dairy barn fans, including panel fans, circulation fans, and HVLS fans, engineered to deliver high-volume airflow across your barn.
Benefits:
Promotes evaporation of water from soaking
Lowers ambient temperature and humidity
Increases airflow over bedding and animals
Reduces insect presence and improves air quality
Our cattle barn fans can be installed using chain hanging or pipe-mounted support, giving you flexibility to match your barn’s structure.
The Perfect Combination: Soaking + Airflow
Studies and on-farm experience prove that combining soaking and ventilation leads to the best results in heat stress management.
✔️ Soaking cools the cow’s surface
✔️ Fans speed up evaporation and create airflow
✔️ The result: cooler cows, higher milk yield, better animal welfare
Boost Production and Animal Comfort
By integrating a smart cooling system with soaking and fans, you not only reduce the risks of heat stress, but also:
Improve daily milk production
Maintain reproductive performance
Support long-term herd health
Enhance barn comfort during summer months
