Ventilation of Swine Buildings
John E. Mentzer, Agricultural Engineering
This publication is intended as a guide for selecting, installing and operating a ventilation system for enclosed swine buildings. The information applies to both new construction and remodeling existing units.
An effective mechanical ventilation system can be planned by:
1. Estimating the number and size of animals to be housed.
2. Deciding on season
of use (Winter only or Winter and Summer).
3. Selecting system of distribution (Attic Inlet Sys -tem> or other).
4. Determining fan size and selecting fans.
5. Selecting control system.
Introduction
Animals produce moisture and heat as a by-product of vital life processes. In a tightly constructed building the moisture produced by the animals is trapped in the building. Excessive mois-
ture in a swine building can directly and indirectly contribute to disease problems, extra labor and rapid deterioration of the building. Definite provisions to control moisture must be made in enclosed swine production buildings.
An exhaust fan installation with automatic louvers and protective hood. This hood reduces the problem of louvers freezing shut when the fan is not operating.
