When the temperature-humidity index is above 72°, livestock will experience heat stress. During heat stress, respiration rates increase, while milk production and reproduction decreases. One option to control heat stress is to install a soaker system over the feed line, parlor (enter and exit lanes) and in the holding pen. J&D Manufacturing’s Soaking System has been designed to provide your livestock with dependable relief from the damaging effects of heat stress. J&D Manufacturing’s Soaking System provides all the necessary components needed to install and automate the system.
