Humidity Control for Veterinary Surgeries & Animal Houses

Find your Condair Expert

Benefits

Proper humidity levels (typically 40–60%) help reduce airborne pathogen survival and minimize the spread of bacteria, viruses, and fungal spores - crucial in surgical environments and high-density animal housing.

Surgery-ready air

Precision humidity for sterile theatres - reduce infection risks, protect instruments, and maintain ideal surgical conditions every time.

Comfort zones for every species

Climate control tailored to animals - keep exotics, neonates, and recovering patients in their optimal humidity range for safer, faster healing.

Cleaner kennels, healthier animals

Humidity that supports hygiene - minimise dust, dander, and airborne pathogens in animal houses for a healthier, more comfortable environment.

Humidity control for veterinary surgeries & animal houses

Benefits Benefits Use cases FAQs

Improved animal health & comfort

Balanced humidity reduces respiratory stress, prevents dehydration or heat stress, and supports faster recovery in post-operative patients. It also limits skin and coat issues caused by overly dry air.

Better environmental conditions for sensitive species

Exotics, neonates, and animals with compromised health are particularly sensitive to humidity fluctuations. Stable humidity ensures species-appropriate environments and reduces environmental stress.

Protection of equipment & materials

Surgical tools, diagnostic devices, and medical consumables can degrade under excessively dry or humid conditions. Controlled humidity preserves equipment lifespan and maintains accuracy.

Odour & dust reduction

Humidification helps suppress dust, dander, and particulate matter, improving overall air quality—and reducing odours—within kennels, catteries, and clinical spaces.

Use cases for...

Anti-static and ESD prevention

Low humidity increases static build-up because dry air is an insulator, making electrostatic discharge (ESD) more likely. Maintaining 40–60% relative humidity helps dissipate charges and significantly reduces ESD risk.

Humidification for animal and pet welfare

Maintaining healthy humidity levels is a key part of providing a safe, comfortable, and welfare-focused environment for animals. Many species rely on stable humidity for respiratory function, skin and coat condition, and overall stress reduction. Proper humidification also supports operational quality by improving air hygiene and environmental control.
