Climate Control
Effective climate control systems play a critical role in maintaining the health and productivity of broiler chickens. These systems regulate temperature, humidity, lighting and ventilation to optimize the environment for the birds. Temperature control prevents heat stress and promotes growth, while humidity control prevents respiratory issues and improves feed efficiency. Proper ventilation removes excess moisture, heat and ammonia from the air, reducing the buildup of harmful particulates and maintaining optimal air quality.
Maximize flock performance by creating an environment that promotes bird health and welfare.
Key factors
Maximizing broiler production with precision climate control
Achieving optimal broiler growth and production requires precise management of environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, lighting, ventilation and circulation. These factors can significantly impact bird health, feed conversion rates and uniform weight gain. A consistent climate enables the chicks to build up adequate immunity, resulting in much lower stress levels.
By implementing precision Munters Trio Poultry Controller, broiler farmers can ensure a consistent and controlled environment, helping their flocks achieve their genetic potential. Effective climate control is crucial for maximizing weight gain, reducing costs and maintaining a healthy and sustainable operation from hatch to harvest.
Keeping your houses within the broiler comfort zone
The comfort zone is defined as the temperature zone in which the birds are able to keep their body temperature constant with minimum effort. This temperature zone also depends on the feeding level and housing conditions. Behaviors of birds will change when temperatures rise to above the comfort zone as they will start to pant and change their body position. When temperatures are below the comfort zone birds will also change their body position and huddle together.
When they are too hot, they suffer of heat stress. If the temperature is too low, birds increase their feed intake but have to use more of that feed energy to keep their bodies warm. If temperature is too high, they reduce feed intake to limit heat production. Adequate ventilation prevents heat build up and keeps birds in their optimum performance zone.
Maximize energy efficiency through energy recovery
Munters Heat-X Rotate, a compact air-to-air heat exchanger, recovers waste heat from exhaust air in poultry and pig stables. Unlike other solutions, Heat-X Rotate does not require preliminary filtration and has low pressure loss. It also features fully automatic rotor cleaning, plastic-coated storage mass for corrosion protection and Eurovent-certified output. It is compact, suitable for freight truck transport and virtually eliminates freezing issues. The system provides high heat recovery with adjustable recovery performance through speed modification.
Control air quality in broiler chicken facilities
Broiler chicken facilities require good air quality control to prevent the buildup of dust, bacteria and harmful gases such as ammonia and carbon dioxide. Poor air quality can lead to respiratory distress and other health problems for the birds, affecting their growth and weight gain. Effective ventilation and air-cleaning systems can help maintain optimal air quality and support healthy bird growth.
