Infrared Heating for Veterinary Medicine, Horse Keeping, and Stables
Whether in a recovery stall at a veterinary practice, a riding arena, or a dairy barn: wherever animals need warmth without being disturbed by glaring light or drafts, infrared heat demonstrates its strengths. Short-wave and medium-wave heaters deliver targeted warmth exactly where animals need it instead of heating large volumes of air, including in buildings with open sides or changing weather conditions.
Why Infrared Heat Is Ideal for Use Around Animals
Because the heat is directed straight at the animal instead of heating the room air, energy consumption is noticeably reduced, especially in stables and practice rooms with high air exchange. The heaters provide noticeable warmth without a long preheating time, operate without an open flame and are therefore safe to use around animals and bedding, and are designed for low-maintenance continuous operation.
Veterinary Applications: Heat for Recovery and Care
In veterinary medicine, calm, controllable warmth is particularly important, for example in recovery stalls, quarantine areas, or when caring for young animals and weakened patients. For these applications, we recommend our medium-wave TEL Forza Carbon range. Its heating elements glow significantly less brightly than short-wave heaters and distribute heat more evenly, which is often perceived as more comfortable by stressed or injured animals than a highly visible red glow. The output can be adjusted with a dimmer, allowing individual stalls to be controlled independently and set precisely according to the needs of each animal.
Horse Keeping: Riding Arena, Stall, and Paddock
Requirements vary depending on the area in horse keeping. In enclosed riding arenas and stalls, our short-wave TEL Forza range provides noticeable warmth on training surfaces and in individual stalls without heating the entire arena. For areas with direct visual contact with the horse, such as grooming stalls or tying areas, the medium-wave TEL Forza Carbon range is suitable thanks to its significantly reduced visible red glow. If the riding arena has an open longitudinal side or there are outdoor paddocks and shelters, our weatherproof TEL Lumia range with IP55 protection is the right choice.
Other Livestock Areas: Stables, Barns, and Greenhouses
The appropriate solution can also be selected according to the area in conventional livestock farming. For enclosed dairy, pig, or poultry barns, as well as barns and storage halls, the short-wave TEL Forza range with output levels from 2.0 to 6.0 kW is suitable. For piglet nests or chick rearing, where animals are in direct visual contact with the heater, the medium-wave TEL Forza Carbon range is recommended. For open-sided stables, pasture shelters, or greenhouses with high humidity, the weatherproof TEL Lumia range provides reliable warmth.
Customized Control
From simple on and off control to manual dimming and automatic regulation via a temperature sensor, the heating output can be adapted to any application, from a single recovery stall to a large stable section.
