Now maybe pens and crates are not what you are after. In any confinement situation, ventilation is always required.

To be a player in today’s international marketplace, the modern pork producer needs a competitive edge. The efficiency of the modern facility depends on many variables of which the efficiency and longevity of ventilation fans play a substantial part.

Expert Ventilation Controls

The Expert line of ventilatoin controls offers the professional producer precise control and monitoring of environment, feeding and watering.

 

Maybe you don’t need computer control, just a fan. Yes it is very big but in a larger confinement operation maybe all you need to to move the air.
