Popis:	Heat stress in dairy cows can reduce both cow comfort and milk production. Sprinkler and fan cooling offers promise as means of reducing heat stress in cows. This article describes a sprinkler and fan cooling system installed at a feed bunk and evaluates system performance in a temperate, humid climate. The results indicate the system increased cow comfort and milk production during the test period.
