Traditional Soaking — Agpro
Traditional Soaking for Dairy Cows–Simple, Reliable Cooling
Traditional soaking uses fixed nozzle lines and timed cycles to wet cow backs and flanks. Fans then evaporate the water to remove heat—straightforward, durable, and easy to service. Whether your barns are natural-vent, cross-vent, or tunnel, Agpro provides validated layouts that keep water on the cows where it belongs, conserve water, and stay compatible with your existing ventilation.
Why Barns Choose Traditional Soaking
- Proven cooling with low system complexity
- Cleaner feed lanes from focused spray patterns
- Timer-based cycles that are easy to maintain
- Durable, serviceable components (timers, solenoids, filters)
- Works in natural, cross, and tunnel-vent barns
Coverage That Protects the Feed
We set nozzle spacing, height, and aim so water hits cows—not TMR. Zones match barn length and cow density for consistent wetting. Proper overlap plus short pause times limit overspray and mist on expensive feed, helping keep lanes drier and safer. Tie coverage to your exhaust path (see the Beast Fan) so humid air moves out quickly for steadier cooling.
Design & Support
- Layouts that wet cows, not feed
- Correct pressure, pattern, overlap
- Exhaust planning for fast humidity removal
- Maintenance guides for quick seasonal prep
