THE EFFECTIVE SOLUTION AGAINST HEAT STRESS

AQUACLIM UP

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

A wide range of benefits for both cows and farmers

CONTROLLED TEMPERATURE

automatically adjusted according to THI

HEAT STRESS MANAGEMENT

maintains milk production year-round

GENETIC POTENTIAL PRESERVED

INCREASED MILK PRODUCTION

thanks to efficient heat transfer and no pressure points

IMPROVED FERTILITY

IMPROVED BLOOD CIRCULATION

Comfort designed to reduce heat stress

Integrated under the mattress water pocket Aquastar, system, the Aquaclim Up is based on a network of innovative cannulas ensuring continuous water circulation. This constant flow allows’efficiently evacuate calories from the animal and maintain the bag at an ideal temperature, even in extreme weather conditions.

This targeted cooling is particularly beneficial for dry cows and ready for insemination, The thermal comfort of these animals is essential for successful reproduction. By keeping these animals in an optimal environment, Aquaclim Up promotes fertility. Once the cow is pregnant, Aquaclim supports the healthy development of pregnant calves, guaranteeing the health and performance of the future producer.

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

Effect of the Aquaclim solution during periods of heat stress:

Increased feeding time

+ 47 min/day

with Aquaclim mattresses compared to conventional mattresses. Bovi’Clim study.

Longer resting time

+ 107 min/ day

more time spent lying down with Aquaclim. Bovi’Clim study.

The most effective method

Conductive cooling (direct contact) is widely recognized as the most effective way to cool dairy cows.

Heat is transferred directly through contact from the most sensitive areas of the cow’s body — the underside, udder, and mammary veins. These areas contain a dense blood network, making them ideal for dissipating heat to a cooler surface. Unlike ventilation, which mainly cools the surrounding air, conduction cools the blood itself as it circulates, close to the cow’s thermal core. The result is immediate relief, even without air movement.

Aquaclim Up control system

Heat stress management

Effectively managing heat stress means acting at the right time, with the right response, while taking all key parameters into account. Continuously cooling the mattresses, summer and winter, would not only waste energy but also reduce efficiency when it matters most.

That is why Bioret Agri has developed a dedicated control system for Aquaclim Updesigned to work in synergy with our ventilation and misting solutions..

While traditional control systems are based solely on the building's interior temperature, the Heat Stress Dynamic Control (HSDC) goes one step further. Thanks to its temperature and humidity sensors, it continuously calculates the true heat stress index (THI).

This intelligent control automatically triggers the most appropriate response - gradual fan acceleration, activation of misting or Aquaclim conduction cooling - depending on the thresholds set for your building.

The result: a precise, responsive, and controlled barn climate that protects cows from heat stress, improves comfort, and sustainably supports performance.

HSDC: Heat Stress Dynamic Control

Smart control based on temperature, humidity and customizable thresholds

1 HSDC/misting control unit (=16 Cyclone fans)

Visit Heat Stress Dynamic Control (HSDC) is a intelligent control system specially designed for reduce heat stress in livestock buildings.

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

The process takes place gradually: as the temperature rises, the fans start up and increase their speed as the THI rises. If this is not enough to maintain a cool environment, system activates misting, coupled with fans to enhance the cooling effect. Last but not least, as soon as the THI threshold preset for your building is reached, the Aquaclim mattress trigger their conduction cooling system directly on contact with the animals.

This intelligent control makes it possible to maintain an optimum climate in the building at all times, without wasting energy or generating excess humidity. You benefit from a reliable, automated and economical tool, guaranteeing the well-being of your herd and the performance of your milk production.
