This webinar will provide an update on our latest research exploring the impact of air speed on cow behavior and performance and will introduce an approach to ventilation assessments using air speed mapping. The discussion will summarize the main ventilation trends in the dairy industry and explore the pros and cons of each design. Dairy barns vary in size and shape, and we need to employ a range of ventilation system solutions to meet the needs of the cow while minimizing the cost to the producer. Listeners will be provided a decision support map to help them optimize the approach needed for their specific circumstance.. The webinar is sponsored by Tunnel Plus.

Hosted by the energetic Mike Hutjens of the University of Illinois, each one-hour webinar will include nationally known and carefully selected presenters who will discuss the most timely and relevant topics and challenges faced by dairy producers today. Topics will cover input costs, finance, nutrition, milk quality, herd management, and milk marketing and dairy policy plans. All of the webinar topic areas are not finalized; this will allow for the addition of time-sensitive topics to be added. Your suggestions on topics are certainly welcome. The webinars are designed to be interactive. If you have questions during the presentation, they can be typed directly to the presenter, and everyone can learn from the response and discussion. Polls can be conducted during the webinar to give the presenter a sound understanding of his or her audience demographics.
