Ventilation for life stock farming

ClimaBarn can be adapted for almost any livestock or agricultural application. Our systems are already used for cattle, pigs, poultry, sheep, goats, rabbits, and horses, among others.
Because every barn and herd is different, we design each system individually. That means we can adjust airflow, speed, and distribution to match the specific needs of your animals and facility. And it’s not only for livestock. Fabric ducting can also be configured for special agricultural or industrial needs. For example, reducing humidity in storage halls or improving air circulation in sensitive feed and crop storage. If your application isn’t listed, just ask us. Our engineering team will find a way to adapt the system to your animals or facility.

The main difference is that fabric duct systems deliver fresh outside air directly to the animals at high speed, ensuring effective cooling. The air is distributed along the entire length of the duct, eliminating “dead zones” or stagnant spots, so every cow receives a steady supply of fresh outdoor air, no matter where it is in the barn. Fabric ducts work exclusively with outdoor air, functioning much like personalized ventilation for each animal.
In contrast, other solutions such as ceiling fans or overhead axial fans mainly recirculate the barn’s polluted indoor air. These systems follow a “one-size-fits-all” centralized ventilation approach, which often makes it difficult to achieve uniform airflow and guarantee that every cow gets the fresh air and cooling it needs.
Many farmers notice calmer, less stressed animals after installing a fabric duct system. Cows no longer crowd at one end of the barn in search of fresh air or flick their tongues to cool themselves—because they already have consistent, comfortable airflow throughout the barn.

Cows begin to experience heat stress at relatively mild temperatures, often long before humans feel uncomfortable. When this happens, they eat less, ruminate less, and milk yields decline. Proper barn ventilation helps by removing hot, humid air and replacing it with cooler, fresher air. Just as importantly, it creates steady air movement over the cows, producing a wind-chill effect that helps them shed excess body heat.
On-farm practice show that air speeds of about 2-2,5 m/s at cow level are needed on hot days to provide effective cooling. ClimaBarn systems are designed to deliver this consistent, targeted airflow, ensuring cows stay within their comfort zone even during the hottest months.

No – condensation does not form on ClimaBarn fabric ducts. The ducts are made from an air-permeable textile that allows a constant flow of fresh air through the material. Because the surface never traps humidity, there’s no chance for condensation to build up and drip.
Condensation issues only occur with airtight materials (like metal, coated fabrics or plastic film) where moisture collects on the surface and leads to dripping and algae growth. With ClimaBarn’s permeable textile, the ducts stay dry, clean, and reliable, ensuring a healthier barn environment without “sweating.”

Each ClimaBarn system is custom designed and manufactured per your specific situation. There is a minimum input needed to determine the system size and capacity which directly impacts the cost. Please refer to ClimaBarn Price Estimator to provide few inputs and get an estimated price instantly. Note that it is an estimate, please submit your calculation report afterwards and we will contact you for consultation and exact price offer shortly after.
By the way, in most cases system pays for itself after one heat-stress season. Check the Proce Estimator for more details.
