Agricultural Insulation

• Polyshield AgriBarrier™ is a product designed for agriculture use in animal confinement barns to help increase production by reducing heat stress on livestock.  It is composed of highly reflective aluminum and polyethylene to form a superior product guaranteed to last the lifetime of your barn. It works by reflecting 95% of heat radiation back to its source thus providing superior energy savings by reducing indoor temperatures in summer by up to sixty degrees. AgriBarrier’s reflective properties also help buildings conserve heat in winter months. This year-round increased energy efficiency means up to 50% savings on both cooling and heating costs. This system can be easily combined with existing traditional, or added insulation, and used to improve the effectiveness of the insulating materials. Contact us today to learn more about how Midwest can help you maximize your production while reducing energy costs with AgriBarrier Smart Barrier System. We offer free quotes and thermal imaging inspections of your barns.

Many people in the poultry, pork and dairy industries are recognizing a growing problem– the heat in their pole barns is impacting the health and weight gain of their poultry and hogs. Dairy farmers are experiencing decreased milk production. This is an increasing epidemic commonly known as the “black-globe effect.” Combatting this problem can become very expensive. Midwest Energy Management offers a lower-cost, highly effective insulation alternative to combat the issues farmers face with controlling temperatures. This innovative insulation solution will help farmers and livestock grower's decrease animal mortality rates by up to 30% and lower energy costs up to 50%.

Studies done at the University of Iowa show that with the elimination of the “black-globe effect” using reflective metalized film insulation (AgriBarrier), many improvements are immediately apparent. For poultry, broiler houses experienced a much-improved feed conversion. Other independent studies show that by reducing heat, pork producers saw a decrease of animal mortality rates and improved feed conversion. The only notable change made was the addition of reflective metal building insulation. So, with the same amount of feed, animals are experiencing better weight gain and overall health. If you're experiencing any of these problems, or would like to maximize your livestock yields, contact us by phone or email to see how we can help.
