Agriculture / Ventilation for pig stalls
Dutch term or phrase: Frisse Neuzen Systeem
Air intake system for pig stalls - Does this come from Friesland? I have no idea what this means.

English translation:air inlet system
Explanation:
Googling on pigs + ventilation systems and bearing in mind the definitions in my reference, I think this is a possibility. 'frisse neus halen' means to get a breath of fresh air so it sounds like a natural rather than mechanical ventilation system. Used in the summer according to Dutch sites, and often in the farrowing house. Incidentally, 'varkensstal' is usually translated as pig house or pig unit, but it may be different in Australia.

http://www.cps.gov.on.ca/english/plans/E9000/9710/M-9710L.pd... points out that air inlet systems can be slots or holes.

Verschillende systemen zijn verkrijgbaar:
'frisse neuzen systeem’: er wordt verse lucht via een open buis door een plafond bij de kop van de zeug gebracht.
deurventilatie: zeugen met de kop naar de voergang toe.
kanaalventilatie: zeugen met de kop naar de voergang toe.

Het Cool-sow-system: systeem waarbij de vloer onder de zeug wordt gekoeld.

Or:

Frisse neuzen systeem’
Zeer goed ventilatie-systeem voor kraamstallen
Principe: verse lucht naar de kop van de zeug brengen
–Vals plafond (isolatieplaat)
–Boven de voederbak van elke zeug: een buis van 20 cm diameter.
–De verse lucht valt in de voederbak en verspreidt zo naar de kop van de zeug.
–Let op: biggennest mag niet dicht bij de buis liggen.
–Dit systeem is niet geschikt voor een kraam- opfokhok!

(6) frisse neuzen systeem
Het frisse neuzen systeem wordt veel toegepast bij kraamhokken. De kop van de zeug bevindt zich aan de muurzijde en de biggennesten zijn aan de andere kant gesitueerd. De koude lucht wordt via een buis boven de trog tot dicht bij de zeug gebracht.
