Stall barns
permit greater inter-action between cow and dairyman.
This extra individual cow attention usually results in
better cow observation for care & breeding
and individual production based rations that assure optimum
milk production. Although there is, perhaps, more time
consuming chores in this type of housing the advent of
automatic take-offs including carrier tracks, pipeline
milking, automatic feeding and manure removal systems
are making it easy for the operator.
These barns are ventilated with
a system of controllable side and ridge openings, which
permits adjustment manually, or automatically to insure
an optimum production environment. Circulation fans
are frequently employed to supplement natural wind forces
in periods of high temperature.
