How to Choose the Right Ventilation for Calf-rearing Sheds

Young Calves Need Stable, Clean Airflow

Calves are especially vulnerable to poor air quality. Their respiratory systems are not fully developed, making them more susceptible to drafts, moisture, and airborne pathogens. In calf-rearing sheds, ventilation isn’t just about comfort—it’s essential for survival, growth, and long-term health. Choosing the right ventilation system early helps prevent disease outbreaks and reduces reliance on medication.

What to Look for in a Ventilation System

The ideal system ensures a steady supply of fresh air without creating cold zones or direct drafts. Tube ventilation meets this requirement by delivering air gently and evenly across the space. Perforated textile ducts distribute airflow at calf level, reducing humidity and ammonia while keeping temperatures stable. Unlike traditional fans or open vents, tube systems are quiet, adaptable, and specifically effective in group pens or densely stocked sheds.
