As swine production becomes more precise, one truth continues to stand out: Ventilation isn’t a system. It’s a seasonal strategy.

The barns that perform best aren’t just well-built or recently upgraded. They’re managed differently in July than they are in January. Because while the goal remains the same—consistent pig performance—the path to get there changes dramatically with the season.

Variable frequency drives (VFDs) have become an essential part of modern swine ventilation. They allow fans to run at variable speeds, which can save energy costs, improve animal comfort and reduce wear on equipment. But as VFD technology has spread through the industry, an important debate has emerged: should the drive be mounted directly on the fan, or remotely, away from the barn environment?

Protect performance, control costs, and maintain animal comfort during the coldest months with these essential winter prep steps.
