Introduction
In the ever-evolving landscape of modern dairy farming, the health and productivity of dairy cows are paramount. USONIC INC is at the forefront of innovation, introducing the Night Simulator Fixture—a cutting-edge solution designed to enhance cow health, optimize reproductive performance, and boost overall farm efficiency.
The Inspiration: A Success Story from a US Dairy Farm
The journey to developing the Night Simulator Fixture began with a pioneering dairy operation in Minnesota, USA. Faced with challenges related to poor reproductive performance, the farm sought a solution to improve estrus synchronization and reduce culling rates. The answer lay in a night simulator lighting system that mimicked natural daylight cycles. By providing 16 hours of white light and 8 hours of simulated darkness, the system regulated the cows' estrus cycles, leading to higher conception rates and healthier animals. This success story laid the foundation for USONIC INC's innovative product.
Introducing the Night Simulator Fixture: A Game-Changer for Dairy Barns
Simulating Nature with Precision
A Multifaceted Approach to Farm Improvement
Enhanced Cow Health: By mimicking natural daylight, the fixture reduces stress and anxiety in cows, leading to a significant decrease in health issues such as mastitis and lameness.
Increased Milk Production: Studies have shown that cows exposed to a more natural light cycle produce more milk. The Night Simulator Fixture maintains a consistent light cycle, ensuring optimal milk production.
Improved Cow Comfort: Creating a more natural environment helps reduce abnormal behaviors, leading to calmer and more content cows.
Optimized Reproductive Performance: Consistent light cycles have a positive impact on estrus synchronization and conception rates. The fixture's red light mode, which simulates nighttime, supports the cows' natural reproductive cycles.
Worker Safety: The fixture dims the lights instead of turning them off completely, ensuring that workers have enough light to perform their tasks safely, even at night.
Energy Efficiency: The Night Simulator Fixture is designed to save energy. By using 80W red light during the night instead of 150W white light, each fixture saves 0.56kWh per day. For a farm with 100 fixtures, this translates to potential savings of over $11,610 over five years.
Technical Excellence and Durability
Power and Efficiency: Available in 120/277V and 480V options, the fixture operates at 150W in white light mode and 80W in red light mode. It boasts a high efficacy of up to 171 lm/W in white light mode and 49 lm/W in red light mode.
Longevity and Reliability: The fixture is built with high-quality LEDs, ensuring a lifespan of up to 50,000 hours (L90). It is designed to withstand harsh conditions, with an IP65 waterproof rating and the ability to operate in extreme temperatures ranging from -40℃ to +50℃.
Easy Installation: The fixture can be mounted in various ways, including pendant, suspended, and yoke mounts, making it adaptable to any barn setup.
Conclusion: A Bright Future for Dairy Farms
