Investigation of soil temperature variation on cowshed structure ground

Abstract

Intensive heat interchanges pass through constructive elements of the animal breeding building. The cost of keeping the animals healthy and productive depends on the temperature surface regime of the building floor on the soil, because most of their time big animals rest, and the incorrect ground surface temperature influences their metabolism, heat production and feed consumption. While trying to improve good economical rates of the farm, the floor surfaces of constructions should be improved while evaluating the ground soil. The influence of the ground soil of the cowshed building over the temperature regime of the surface of a traditional floor is analysed in the study. The experimental 80-place cowshed has been used for that purpose. Three temperature fixing borings have been arranged outside and also inside the room of the building. Temperature variation curves (of various seasons) of the ground surface of the cowshed building have been made. The investigation of temperature variation of an all year round floor surface has been carried out. The character of variation of outside temperature (during the whole year) of the ground of cowshed building and soil in its surroundings was produced.
