Infrared Brooding Bulb

Heat is a critical component for getting animals started quickly and maintaining optimal health. The infrared brooding bulb provides radiant heat to keep juvenile livestock warm via the top-bottom heat effusion from the bulb. It is a valuable tool for the first few weeks of the life of livestock and delivers “top-down” heat intensity in relation to the distance from the floor area.

Heating lamp applications:

• Poultry house/coops
• Livestock Pen
• Farrowing pen
• Pet houses

Benefits of the Infrared Brooding Bulb

1. Made with high-quality glass that is resistant to high temperatures.
2. Uses standard infrared (heat) bulbs, thus saving electric energy costs, thereby reducing production costs and complying with environmental sustainability requirements.
3. Regular light/heat supply for juvenile livestock to keep warm as well as feed.
4. It is very reliable with little maintenance required.
5. Improves animal comfort and performance.
6. The red colour of this bulb helps deter chicks from picking at one another and also makes it easier for them to sleep.

Heat placement for young livestock

• During farrowing, nursery, and wean-to-finish, a micro-environment needs to be maintained within the pen to ensure that the young livestock is protected from chilling.
• Low pen temperatures can predispose to scours and other ailments thus giving rise to less healthy youngs.
