Application of natural ventilation in cattle barns.

Author(s) : MÜLLER H. J., MÖLLER B.

Summary

The design of buildings for animal keeping and the dimensioning of the ventilation equipment for such buildings require knowledge about heat, moisture and CO2 production of the animals. In addition to these parameters, the emission streams of odour and gases are interesting on the part of action on the environment. Therefore, basic research was carried out in different cattle barns, different designed buildings and different number of animals under one roof. Special investigations were done in two naturally ventilated livestock buildings for 288 dairy cows and for 251 beef cattle. The paper reported about the measuring methods and the results regarding the microclimate parameters and the ammonia emission streams.
