It gives the cows just the extra cooling they need

The Reijenga family from Harich decided to invest in cooling fans for their dairy cattle. The fans were installed in the spring of 2021. Marije Reijenga tells how the HVLS ventilators gave birth 2 years later.

Side wall ventilation was not enough to keep the cows comfortable

“Our stable already has an insulated roof that blocks a lot of heat and side wall ventilation that provides air flow. But we still noticed that on warm, windless days this was not enough to keep the cows comfortable.” The family then decided to look for fans and came across DSD stable equipment.

“The HVLS fans have been in place for about two years now and we are very pleased with them. You notice that they can provide that extra bit of cooling to make the cows feel comfortable,” says Marije. “You notice that the fans provide nice fresh air when you are in the stable.”

Marije is also very satisfied with the installation and communication. “They arrived early in the morning and by the end of the day they were already running. The timing was perfect, just for the warm summer that was coming.” She says. “There was also good communication. If there is something wrong with the fans and you call them, they will come quickly or try to help you remotely. So that works very well.”

Marije Reijenga her experience with HVLS fans

Two years ago, HVLS fans were installed at the VOF Reijenga Harich dairy farm by DSD stable equipment. In this video Marije Reijenga talks about their experience with the installation and use of the fans. 

Satisfied farmers tell

"DSD was able to carry out the entire renovation in-house, which is why I chose them. Moreover, the improvements, such as the addition of the feeding sidewalk, were very much appreciated."  > Read more

Willem Beltman from Bellingwolde

"We have decided to switch to better fans because of the increasingly warmer summers. With these new fans we blow fresh air from outside straight through the stable, which is more pleasant for people and animals."  > Read more

"We had cows that stood too much and saw a lot of thick heels. Immediately after installing the AUC Waterbeds, the stalls were fully occupied and I saw far fewer thick heels. The waterbeds are more than worth the investment."  > Read more

"When building my new stable, I opted for a complete DSD design. 11 years later, everything is still in perfect condition. When I wanted to invest in fans two years ago, I immediately knew where I wanted to buy them."  > Read more

Erwin Matthezing from Assen

"When I invested in two milking robots, I also had to renovate the stable. I chose Ster cubicles and AUC waterbeds because of the 15-year warranty, which gives confidence. It is clear that the cows lie down and get up easily." > Read more

André Baars from St. Jacobi parish

"In retrospect, I should have opted for the Innova cow bed much earlier. The years of experience of DSD stable equipment with this box covering was the deciding factor for me. They now lie much faster, easier and more, which indicates that they are enjoying themselves."  > Read more

"Last month we had new boxes and new cow mattresses installed in our stables by DSD stable furnishings. It was ready in 3 days. We are very satisfied and it turned out super neat."
