Horses have a very low tolerance towards heat and they are on the verge of developing health issues, if left in adverse or unhealthy conditions. Fortunately misting system has gained prominence over the years and has made its way to barns as well.
Why barn misting system?
Barns are located outdoor where heat waves are even stronger hence putting the animals or livestock at the higher risk of heat stroke or developing other health issues. Horses specifically are at even more risk during summers especially in the presence of dry air that sucks all the body moisture leaving it even more susceptible to heat accumulation. Horses do sweat but their ability to regulate body temperature is weaker in comparison to humans. Cows are equally vulnerable to heat stroke and sometimes even death due to exposure to heat that can adversely affect the milk production hence cutting down the profit. Heat even affects the egg production that declines by 20–40% during summers.
