AireGard Ventilation Solution for Pig barns

Maintaining a healthy and stable barn climate is essential for the wellbeing and productivity of pigs. In pig farms, large amounts of ammonia, heat, and moisture are generated daily. Without proper ventilation, these conditions can lead to respiratory problems, poor feed intake, and reduced growth performance. AireGard ventilation solutions are designed to keep pig barns comfortable, clean, and efficient throughout all seasons.

The Importance of Proper Air Circulation

Pigs are highly sensitive to heat stress. When barn temperatures rise above their comfort zone, pigs eat less, leading to slower weight gain and lower milk production in sows. Effective ventilation reduces heat buildup and removes harmful gases, helping maintain the right temperature and air quality for optimal growth and reproduction.

AireGard barn ventilation systems ensure a consistent exchange of fresh air, remove excessive moisture, and prevent the buildup of ammonia and other harmful gases. This creates a safer and more productive environment for both animals and workers.

Types of Ventilation Systems for Pig Farms

Ceiling and Duct Ventilation
Ceiling or duct ventilation systems supply fresh air from above, distributing it evenly throughout the barn. This method helps maintain oxygen levels while preventing drafts and cold air from reaching young piglets.

Tunnel and Cross Ventilation
In warm climates, tunnel and cross ventilation are effective for removing heat and maintaining airflow. Fans are installed at one end or along the sides of the barn, drawing fresh air through inlets to create a consistent cooling effect.

Central Exhaust Systems
Central exhaust systems collect warm and humid air from different parts of the barn and expel it through a main duct. This setup improves air quality and helps control humidity, especially in high-density pig housing.

Natural and Hybrid Ventilation
Combining natural airflow with mechanical ventilation can improve efficiency while reducing energy costs. Openings along the walls or roof ridges allow natural air movement, while AireGard fans enhance circulation during periods of still weather or high humidity.

Minimum and Maximum Ventilation

Maintaining the right ventilation level throughout the year is crucial.

• Minimum ventilation provides enough oxygen and removes harmful gases during cooler periods or when piglets are young.
• Maximum ventilation is required on hot days or when the barn is at full capacity to control heat buildup and maintain proper air circulation.

AireGard systems are designed to adapt to these changing conditions, ensuring pigs remain comfortable and healthy regardless of the season.

Reliable Air Solutions for Productive Pig Farms

AireGard fans and ventilation systems are built for agricultural environments, offering durability, corrosion resistance, and high performance. They help farmers achieve consistent air movement, prevent condensation, and maintain optimal temperature and humidity levels inside pig barns.

With AireGard, pig farmers can reduce heat stress, improve feed efficiency, and support better animal welfare while maintaining energy-efficient operations.
