Benefits
Sunlight is a natural ally for animal health and a powerful lever for reducing veterinary costs. Through solar sterilization, UV rays act as a natural disinfectant, effectively eliminating bacteria, viruses, and spores present in the environment.
Lighting plays a key role in dairy cow productivity. Adequate exposure to light can stimulate their metabolism and promote better milk production.
A lower humidity level in the livestock environment has a direct impact on health.
Optimizing natural lighting helps reduce energy costs while improving animal well-being.
Strategic use of daylight, thanks to well-designed structures and reflective materials, limits reliance on artificial lighting and reduces electricity consumption.
Natural Ventilation
Ensuring the safety and well-being of your livestock is essential to your daily operations. When you invest in MegaDome agricultural buildings, you get structures designed to keep fresh air circulating all day. Our shelter buildings offer reliable protection from harsh weather while providing excellent ventilation, ensuring a safe and healthy environment for your livestock whenever they’re indoors.
Well-being
Our PowerShield® membrane is specifically designed for fabric livestock buildings, allowing 30% of natural light to penetrate and enabling solar sterilization, which can reduce veterinary care costs. This membrane also helps lower humidity levels compared to standard options, ensuring a cleaner, well-ventilated environment that promotes the health and well-being of your livestock.
Lower operational costs
The thermally non-conductive properties of MegaDome’s fabric covers help maintain a warmer interior during colder months and a cooler environment during warmer months. This natural climate control, along with reduced need for artificial lighting, significantly lowers energy costs for cattle barns, providing an efficient and comfortable space for your livestock year-round.
