THE EFFICIENT SOLUTION AGAINST HEAT STRESS

AQUACLIM UP®

Designed for high-producing cows, a continuous flow of cool water complements the Aquastar waterbed to effectively combat heat stress.

Numerous advantages for the cow and the farmer.

REGULATED TEMPERATURE

automatically based on the THI

COMBATING HEAT STRESS

Maintain milk persistency throughout the year

GENETIC POTENTIAL SAFEGUARDED

INCREASED MILK PRODUCTION

thanks to thermal transfer and the absence of compression points

IMPROVED FERTILITY

IMPROVED BLOOD CIRCULATION

Beneficial comfort against heat stress

Integrated under the Aquastar waterbed, the Aquaclim Up system relies on a network of innovative tubes ensuring a continuous circulation of water. This constant flow allows for the efficient removal of calories released by the animal and maintains the pouch at an ideal temperature, even in extreme climatic conditions.

This targeted cooling is particularly beneficial for dry cows and those ready for insemination, whose thermal comfort is essential for successful reproduction. By maintaining these animals in an optimal environment, Aquaclim Up promotes fertility. Once the cow is pregnant, Aquaclim supports the healthy development of the calf in gestation, thus ensuring the health and performance of the future producer.

Designed for animal welfare and farm profitability, Aquaclim Up is the ideal solution for facing the challenges of global warming while optimizing herd productivity.

The most effective method

Cooling by conduction (through contact) is recognized as the most effective method for cows.

Because heat is directly dissipated through contact from the most sensitive areas of the cow's body—her abdomen, udder, and mammary veins. These regions contain a dense network of blood vessels, ideal for transferring heat to a cooler surface. Unlike ventilation, which primarily affects the ambient air, conduction cools the circulating blood, closest to the cow's thermal core. Result: immediate relief, even without moving air.

Aquaclim Up Control

Heat stress management

Effectively combating heat stress means acting at the right time, with the right response, taking into account all the essential parameters. Cooling the mattresses permanently, summer and winter, would not only be energy-intensive but would also reduce their effectiveness at the critical moment.

This is why Bioret Agri has developed a control system specifically designed for Aquaclim Up cooling, in synergy with our other ventilation solutions and misting.

While traditional control systems rely solely on the building's interior temperature, the Heat Stress Dynamic Control (HSDC) goes further. Thanks to its temperature and humidity sensors, it continuously calculates the true Thermal Heat Index (THI).

This intelligent control automatically triggers the most appropriate response—gradual acceleration of fans, activation of misting, or start-up of Aquaclim conduction cooling—based on the thresholds defined for your building.

The result is a precise, responsive, and controlled indoor climate that protects your cows from heat stress, improves their comfort, and sustainably supports their performance.

HSDC: Heat Stress Dynamic Control

Intelligent control based on temperature, humidity and customizable thresholds

1 HSDC/mister box (=16 Cyclones)

The Heat Stress Dynamic Control (HSDC) is an intelligent control system specifically designed to reduce heat stress in livestock buildings.

It relies on a network of temperature and humidity sensors that continuously measure ambient conditions to calculate the THI index. Thanks to an adaptive algorithm, the HSDC automatically adjusts ventilation and cooling to maintain a stable and comfortable climate.

The process is gradual: as the temperature rises, the fans start and increase their speed as the THI rises. If this is not enough to maintain a cool environment, the system activates misting, coupled with fans to enhance the cooling effect. Finally, as soon as the THI threshold predefined for your building is reached, the Aquaclim mats trigger their conduction cooling system directly in contact with the animals.

This intelligent regulation makes it possible to permanently maintain an optimal climate in the building, without wasting energy and without generating excess humidity. You thus benefit from a reliable, automated and economical tool, guaranteeing the well-being of the herd and the performance of milk production.

Aquastar: « There are no more cows lying in the aisle, even when it's hot »

Thanks to its water pocket, the Aquastar mattress, installed in your cubicle building, offers your cows comfortable lying and impeccable hygiene.

ARTEMIS calving pen: "It's better for the animals' health."

Calving is a crucial moment in a cow's career. To ensure that it goes as smoothly as possible, the cow must be provided with comfort and impeccable hygiene. With the ARTEMIS pen, you offer the best conditions for calving...

SANI-FEED: "The feed is distributed to our cows under the best hygienic conditions."

Over time, due to the acidity of silage, the concrete in the troughs deteriorates. Cleaning therefore becomes more complicated and cleanliness is no longer guaranteed. The trough itself can become a source of microbial contamination of the feed. By covering...
