How can Ag Barrier® help me?
Studies show that with the elimination of the “black-globe effect” using reflective metallized film insulation (Ag Barrier®), many improvements are immediately apparent. In the dairy industry, an increase of as much as 10% in milk production has been noted. The study also reported that the only notable change made was the addition of reflective insulation. In a different study, a conception rate improvement of nearly 24% was observed. Broiler house feed conversions went from averages of 2.3 to 2.8 pounds of feed per pound of bird to 1.99 feed conversion. With the same amount of feed, birds were noted to gain more weight.
What is the “Black-Globe Effect”?
Whether outdoors or indoors, in temperatures exceeding 78° F animals absorb a tremendous amount of radiant energy from the sun. Although the animal may be confined to a building, the “black-globe effect” on the animal is the same as if it were 10 to 20° F higher than air temperature. Just like humans, animals in higher temperature environments don’t fare well. In addition to other problems, this makes weight gain harder to achieve and diminishes dairy production amounts.
