FETF326 Grant for Ultra high pressure mist cooling
Most producers think of high pressure Lubing mist cooling systems as a tool for hot weather only. In reality, running them year round delivers consistent operational and flock management benefits that are often overlooked.
Firstly, routine use provides effective dust suppression before entering sheds. A light misting settles airborne particles, improving air quality for both birds and stockpersons. This not only creates a healthier environment but also makes inspections more accurate and comfortable.
Secondly, daily operation acts as a built in system check. By running the misting lines regularly, flock observers can quickly identify blocked or underperforming nozzles. This proactive approach ensures the system is always functioning at optimal performance, especially critical when peak temperatures arrive.

Another key advantage is in shed preparation. Using the system to pre soak housing before washout can significantly reduce cleaning time and improve efficiency. Softening debris ahead of pressure washing reduces labour, water usage, and turnaround time between flocks.
Importantly, these systems also play a valuable role at chick placement. Increasing relative humidity in the shed during early stages helps reduce dehydration risk, supports chick comfort, and promotes more consistent early performance.
Just as important is maintenance. Regular use helps keep lines clear, but when systems are not in use, flushing them through is essential. This prevents stagnation, reduces the risk of blockages, and ensures nozzles remain clean and ready for reliable operation when needed.
And of course, when hot weather does hit, the benefits are immediate. High pressure misting delivers dramatic temperature reduction, supporting bird welfare, feed intake, and overall performance during heat stress periods.
In short, these systems shouldn’t be seen as seasonal equipment. When integrated into daily management routines and supported with proper maintenance they become a multi-functional tool improving air quality, system reliability, cleaning efficiency, early-stage flock conditions, and environmental control all year round.
Are you getting full value from your system, or only using it when temperatures rise?
