This work aimed to evaluate the economical and technical efficiency of evaporative adiabatic cooling system (EACS) for intensive milk production. Its specific objectives were to evaluate thermal efficiency of chilling systems (aspersion and sprinkler) associated with forced air fan on productive traits, heat stress reduction, internal micro-climate, and economical advantages in relation to water and energy expenses. Experiment was carried out in a commercial dairy cattle farm located in a small city of Sao Paulo State. In each treatment were used 10 dairy-Holstein cows sorted according to their milk production and lactation order, in a free-stall system. Among these cows, five were selected for collecting physiological data (respiratory frequency, rectal temperature and temperature in white and black pelage) at 9:00 a.m., 11:00 a.m., 1:00 p.m., 3:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m. during nine non-consecutive days. Other five animals were evaluated for their behavior (localization and activities inside facilities) through video-cameras from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. during six days. Experimental period was twenty-eight consecutive days of November 2003, being the first seven days for animal adaptation and the last twenty-one for data collection. Climate data (relative air temperature and humidity, and dark globe temperature), in each treatment and outside of facility, were taken in intervals of 15 minutes during 24 hours by HOBO data logger, which permitted to calculate the Humidity and Temperature Index (HTI), Humidity and Dark Globe Index (HDGI) and Enthalpy (E). Fan with 2.5 m.s of air mobility capacity associated to aspersion and sprinkler systems, were controlled by thermostat and distributed following feeder line of free-stall. Production variables considered were: milk production, feed intake, animal behavior, water and energy consumption of cooling system, and animal physiological traits. Data evaluation was realized in a completely randomized block design using in statistical analysis Tukey’s test with 1% of significance level. General analysis of results was performed through SAS proceedings. Considering that treatments promoted similar feed intake (the difference was 3.0 kg DM.animal.month), the chilling system associated to aspersion led to an increase (18.0 liters.animal.month) in 3% milk production in spite of its higher consumption of water and energy (7535.7 liters.animal.month and 2.3 kW.h .animal.month, respectively). As consequence, it was observed an increase of 4.7% in total mensal profit in relation to sprinkler system.
