Horse farm heating lamps are important for the health and comfort of horses in cold environments.
Applicable scenarios
– Stables: Stables are places for horses to rest. In cold weather, heating lamps can effectively increase the internal temperature and make horses feel comfortable. Especially at night or in cold winter, it can prevent horses from getting sick due to the cold, such as preventing horses from getting colds and muscle stiffness.
– Foal nursery area: Foals have weak resistance and poor ability to regulate their body temperature. For a period of time after the foal is born, heating lamps can provide them with a suitable warm environment to ensure the healthy growth of the foal and reduce the risk of premature death.
Type selection
– Infrared heating lamps:
– Principles and advantages: By emitting infrared radiation heat, this method can be directly absorbed by the horse’s body, similar to sunlight, so that the horse can feel warm both on the surface and inside. And its heating range is relatively large, it can cover a certain area in the stable, so that multiple horses can benefit at the same time.
– Precautions: Pay attention to the installation height and angle to avoid direct contact with the horse and burns. At the same time, it is necessary to choose products with good quality and good protection performance to prevent damage to horses due to situations such as bulb breakage.
– Fan heater type heating equipment (with heating lamp function):
– Principles and advantages: This type of equipment blows out the heat generated by the heating element through a fan, which can quickly heat up a large area of \\u200b\\u200bspace, and has a good application effect in large stables or warm-up areas of racecourses. And it usually has a temperature adjustment function, which can control the temperature according to actual needs.
– Precautions: Due to the operation of the fan, a certain amount of noise will be generated, and the horse’s tolerance to noise should be considered. At the same time, make sure that the air inlet is not blocked to ensure the normal operation of the equipment.
Key points for use
– Temperature control: Horses of different ages and breeds have different adaptability to temperature. Generally speaking, the suitable ambient temperature for adult horses is between 5-25\\u2103, while young horses require higher temperatures. When using a heating lamp, the ambient temperature should be controlled according to the actual situation through tools such as thermometers.
– Safety guarantee: The heating lamp should be installed firmly, and its wires should be away from the range that the horse may reach to prevent leakage accidents caused by chewing. And check the heating lamp regularly for damage, such as whether the bulb is broken or the heating element is faulty.
– Space layout: The heating lamps should be arranged reasonably to ensure that every corner of the stable or other use place can get proper warmth to avoid local over-high or over-low temperatures.
