摘要: Maintaining an optimal indoor thermal environment is crucial for enhancing the welfare and productivity of livestock in intensive breeding farms. This paper investigated the application of a combined geothermal heat pump with a precision air supply (GHP-PAS) system for cooling dairy cows on a dairy farm. The effectiveness of the GHP-PAS system in mitigating heat stress in lactating dairy cattle, along with its energy performance and local cooling efficiency in the free stalls were evaluated. A total of 140 multiparous lactating Holstein cows was tested in two groups. One group was housed in a barn equipped with a GHP-PAS system (GP barn, n = 70), and the other was housed in a barn with a conventional fan-sprinkling system (FS barn, n = 70). Results showed that the ambient temperature of both GP and FS barns were lower than that outside the barn (P < 0.05), with no significant difference between the GP and FS barns (P > 0.05). Compared to cows in the FS barn, those in the GP barn exhibited lower skin temperature, rectal temperature, and respiratory rate (P < 0.05). The mean temperature difference between outflow and inflow water was 2.56( degrees)C of the GHP unit. The average energy efficiency ratios (EER) of the GHP unit and the GHP-PAS system were 5.03 and 2.92, respectively. The daily average electricity consumption was 20.4 +/- 1.0 kWh. The field test results indicated that the airflow from a single nozzle of the GHP-PAS system effectively covered a stall space with an average width of 1.84 m at a cow reclining height of 0.5 m, with an average air velocity of 1 m/s. The per-cow hourly electricity consumption for cooling was 2.04 kWh for the GHP-PAS system and 0.36 kWh for the FS system, highlighting that the GHP-PAS system is approximately 5.6 times more energy-intensive than the FS system. In conclusion, the GHP-PAS system showed the potential for alleviating heat stress in dairy cows. Further research is needed to enhance the energy efficiency and cooling effectiveness of the current GHP-PAS system.
