Ventilation in poultry farm

What is ventilation?

Adequate ventilation ensures bird comfort, bird health and welfare. The ventilation requirements of the broilers changes as it grows and with climatic conditions; ranging from providing a minimum amount of fresh air (regardless of outside temperature) in cold weather, to creating high air speed to keep birds comfortable during hot and/or humid conditions

PURPOSE OF VENTILATION

To maintain bird comfort

To provide fresh air

To exhaust moisture

To maintain air quality (remove odor and harmful gases)

To distribute heat and fresh air evenly

To regulate house temperature

To help maintain good litter quality

To control effective temperature of the bird

Ventilation management of open sided houses requires constant attention. Open-sided houses are vulnerable to high daytime temperatures and to outside colder air during the night time or when raining. The challenge is to keep the broiler chicks warm in the first 14 days of life and later, to provide appropriate ventilation by opening and closing sidewall curtains:

- When it gets warm, the curtains are open to allow outside air into a house

- When it gets cold, the curtains are closed to restrict direct exposure to cold air

Naturally ventilation can be either mechanically (circulation fans are used to help circulate and move air) or non-mechanically assisted.

When using fans, it should be oriented to blow down the long axis of the house and should either be placed in the center of the house if using single row or down each side of the house if using 2 row

When this happens, the affected sows will have leg and fertility problems. Allow all sows to get plenty exercise in order to stay fit, burn out excess fat and develop their legs well.⁣⁣⁣ Normally, young sows (gilts) are ready to conceive at 6 months of age, but mating them at this age is not advisable. They should be allowed to attain good weight before they are serviced. So wait until the gilts reach 8 – 10 months before they could be serviced. If gilts are serviced too early, there will be poor growth, small litters, farrowing (birth) problems and loss of conditions.⁣⁣⁣ Few weeks before servicing gilts or sows, they should be well-fed with protein-rich food or feed and extra quantities of feed should be provided.
