Agricultural buildings

The control of airflow plays a critical role in maintaining healthy environments for farm animals, such as cattle and pigs.

The control of airflow plays a critical role in maintaining healthy environments for stabled or penned animals, such as cattle and pigs.

Heraklith® panels are an ideal solution, acting both as an additional air filter, and thermal and acoustic insulation.  

Heraklith® Agro Panels have been specially developed with optimised porosity that makes them permeable to air.  They are a superior insulation option that helps prevent condensation and draughts, as well as to maintain steady temperature and humidity levels, even when outside temperatures and relative-humidity levels vary with the seasons.

 

Enhanced animal comfort

Enhanced animal comfort, is recognised as important to reduce stress levels that can affect animal growth and the quality of meat.

It can also help keep veterinary costs down. The results of a research programme, based on more than 90,000 animal health reports, show a considerable reduction in the consumption of medicines needed to keep pigs healthy in premises where Heraklith® Agro Panels are installed. The research has been conducted over several years by the training and research centre Raumberg-Gumpenstein, part of the Federal Ministry for Sustainability and Tourism of Austria.
