Poultry Environment Control System

Cooling Pads Sized to the Fans Key points A cooling pad is the inlet of a tunnel house. Area follows fan capacity, not house length. A 150 mm pad is commonly sized at about 1.8 m/s through the face. A 100 mm pad takes a lower speed. Too little pad raises pressure. The fans then […]

Poultry House Controller: Fans, Pads and the Sprinkler Call Key points The poultry house controller reads temperature and humidity. The power box beside it switches the fans, the pad pump and the sprinkler. Pads cool the air coming in and raise house humidity. A sprinkler wets the bird. The two calls are not the same

Farm Ventilators: Air at Working Pressure, Not the Free-Air Number Key points An energy-efficient farm ventilator is the fan that still moves the air the house needs once pads, cages and shutters are in the way. Big Dutchman publishes cone fans for tunnel houses where counterpressure is high. Big Herdsman is the other name buyers

How to Configure Poultry Environmental Controllers for Multi-Stage Ventilation (2026) Poultry Environmental Controllers for Multi-Stage Ventilation (2026) In sealed automated poultry houses, properly programmed environmental controllers are essential for smooth multi-stage ventilation transitions, maintaining optimal temperature, humidity, and air quality across all growth phases. Quick Answer Program the controller with 0.5°C temperature differential stages and

How to Configure Poultry House Air Deflectors to Optimize Wind Chill Effects (2026) Optimizing Air Deflectors for Better Wind Chill in Poultry Houses In sealed tunnel-ventilated poultry houses, properly configured air deflectors and ceiling baffles are essential to compress the air column and maximize wind speed at bird level for effective convective cooling. Quick Answer

Heavy-Duty Fiberglass vs Galvanized Steel Exhaust Fans for Poultry Houses (2026) Heavy-Duty Fiberglass vs Galvanized Steel Exhaust Fans for Poultry Houses In high-humidity, high-ammonia poultry house environments, the choice between SMC fiberglass and hot-dip galvanized steel exhaust fans directly impacts long-term reliability, energy efficiency, and total cost of ownership. Understanding the material and performance differences

How to Optimize Poultry House Cooling Pad Efficiency for Summer Temperature Control (2026) How to Optimize Poultry House Cooling Pad Efficiency for Summer Temperature Control In tunnel-ventilated poultry houses, evaporative cooling pads are the primary defense against summer heat stress. Proper sizing, water flow calibration, and maintenance directly determine how effectively the system can reduce

Heavy-Duty Exhaust Fans for Broiler Houses: Drop Hammer vs. Butterfly Cone Layouts (2026) Heavy-Duty Exhaust Fans for Broiler Houses – Drop Hammer vs Butterfly (2026) In commercial broiler tunnel ventilation systems, the choice between Drop Hammer and Butterfly Cone exhaust fans has a significant impact on energy efficiency, static pressure performance, and long-term operating costs.

Calibrating Minimum Ventilation and Static Pressure for Poultry Brooding Periods (2026) Calibrating Minimum Ventilation and Static Pressure for Poultry Brooding Periods During the critical brooding period (day 0–14), precise control of minimum ventilation and static pressure determines chick survival, gut health, and future laying performance. Incorrect settings can cause chilling stress or rapid ammonia buildup
