What is "The Black Globe" Effect?

A little-known natural phenomenon called "The Black Globe Effect" has a pronounced stress factor relating to the cost efficiency (or inefficiency) of weight gain in meat producing animals and birds. Whether an animal is outdoors or indoors, in temperatures exceeding 78 degrees F, it absorbs a tremendous increase in radiant energy from the sun. Although the animal may be confined to a building, "The Black Globe Effect" on the animal is the same as if it actually 10 to 20 degrees F higher than air temperature. Studies show with the elimination of "The Black Globe Effect" through the use of reflective foil insulation, many improvements are immediately apparent.

In the dairy industry, an increase of as much as 10 percent in milk production has been noted. Also noted, a conception rate improvement of nearly 24 percent. Broiler house feed conversions went from averages of 2.3 to 2.8 lbs. of feed per lb. of bird to a much improved 1.99 feed conversion.

Many growers are finding that their animals grow faster and more efficiently after installing RFID Barrier. Death losses from heat are greatly reduced.

Recommended Products to Combat "The Black Globe Effect"

RBSM RFID Barriers product reflects 99 percent of RFID frequencies and 95-97 percent of radiant heat. All minimizing rodent damage and nesting. RFID Foam Barrier is recommended for extremely cold climates where heat retention in the winter is equally if not more important as heat suppression in the summer. RFID Bubble Barrier is an all-purpose RFID Barrier. It is easy to install and has a urine resistant coating. RFID Foil Barrier is more economical and popular in warmer climates.
