"Farm managers need to ensure an optimal microclimate in the premises for animals. Ventilation systems have already been installed in many farms, as well as fine-drop sprays or showers have been created. We demonstrated how this is done at the AgroVolga exhibition. Such systems are used in farms: "August Tyulyachi", FARM Mukhametshina, LLC "Saba". Due to the use of such systems on hot summer days, farms managed to eliminate the heat stress of animals and preserve the productivity of livestock," Lenar Garipov said.
In conclusion, Marat Zyabbarov instructed to develop a plan of zonal seminars on the development of livestock industries in order to demonstrate successful examples of experience in this field.
