In all areas, especially in hot weather, chicken coop design is crucial for ensuring effective cooling and comfort of the chicken body. When designing a modern chicken coop, one consideration is the optimal floor area to achieve good results. The new long and wide chicken coop challenges the ventilation system's ability to ensure a uniform environment for all lengths and widths of the coop.

The second point is equally important, what is the air exchange rate and wind speed required to make chickens comfortable, and how does this affect energy costs? The main goal of a broiler farm is to stimulate feed consumption, from the moment the chicks arrive at the farm until they leave for slaughter.

The first 7 days of a chick's life are important. An additional gram of weight is equivalent to an additional 5 grams or even more at 35 days. The brooding stage lays the foundation for good performance, and the extra effort put in during this stage will be reflected in the final performance of the chicken flock. In order to have a good start, farmers must provide a good environment and ensure immediate supply of feed and drinking water.

Another challenging time is duringtwenty-fiveAfter the day, especially in hot seasons. The feathers of the chicken flock have grown completely, and the hot environment temperature will challenge the consumption of feed. Capital investment is often driven by high levels.

Due to high-quality equipment, high construction costs, government import taxes and logistics costs, the choice may be reduced. Investment decisions are often made without optimizing the design, failing to meet the air flow requirements for maximizing chicken flock performance. In today's low gross profit environment, it depends on achieving herd performance comparable to genetic potential. Here are some crucial design considerations:

1.  Good insulation, the ceiling and walls are relatively smooth.

2. Good quality air intake windows for small ventilation and transitional ventilation.

3. Reasonable static pressure control is achieved through the sealing of the chicken coop.All new projects should be accepted after stress testing.

4. Efficiency based selection of large fans - not cost based!Fan selection is an important factor in all design decisions, especially in hot climates.

As a breeder, keeping broiler chickens cool and comfortable is one of your important tasks.

Heat enters the chicken coop through the surfaces of the ceiling, side walls, and curtains, changing from hot to cold. The resistance to inflow, also known asR Value The larger, the fewer passes. Not only does the heat enter the chicken coop through various surfaces, but the chicken body itself also generates heat, which is a major source of heat.

But we cannot ignore the role of an insulated roof or a suspended ceiling. In modern chicken coops, both the comfort and operating costs of the chickens need to be taken into consideration. For example, toR Value fromR2(Simple plastic ceiling without insulation) to oneR10Can bringonereachtwoThe difference in Celsius degrees reduces the need for large fans or air exchange capacity to achieve a reduction in temperature for larger chickens in hot weather2.8 oC.

A meat chicken coop should have a small one on the roofR8-10The insulation. By quickly exchanging air and using a wet curtain cooling system to transfer heat from the chicken coop. If the temperature difference between the space and the chicken body is small, the heat taken away from the chicken body will be less. By increasing the cooling capacity of the wet curtain and improving insulation, the heat transfer of the chicken body will increase.

The wet curtain cooling system can only provide the cooling capacity required by broiler chickens20%Wind speed, also known as the air cooling effect, is a major contributor to cooling. The faster the air exchange, the lower the temperature in the chicken coop. Unfortunately, a good air exchange capacity alone cannot bring comfort to the chicken body.

Wind speed is an important factor in chicken coop design. This is because before the feathers of broiler chickens fully develop, they are very sensitive to wind speed, which can affect feed intake.

The transitional ventilation system can be said to be an important system in broiler sheds today. It ensures sufficient air exchange and temperature management without causing excessive air movement at the height of the chicken. In hot areas, breeders often overlook the importance of selecting and installing high-quality air intakes.

Static pressure control is fundamental for the ventilation system of a closed environment chicken coop. All new chicken coops should be debugged after passing a simple stress test. Here is an example to illustrate the reasonable pressure readings for a new chicken coop. The wind speed at each location of the coop isthree point fiveMeter per second. The important design decision revolves around achieving genetic potential at low operating costs.

The selection of tunnel fans is crucial, and it should not be based on unit price, but on the following factors:

1. Energy efficiency - cubic feet per minute per watt（cfm/watt）Orm?/hr/Watt. staytwenty-fivePascal's time is small21cfm/watt.

2. The air flow velocity is reflected in whether the fan can achieve its purpose under high static pressure. Should be greater thanzero point seven five. All reputable fan suppliers will test their fans. In the future, energy will only be higher.

It is important to understand that investing in the right equipment, although it may seem expensive, is always a wise choice. Price is often a factor in purchasing decisions, but it actually only accounts for a fraction of the total asset cost3%So we should look at the long-term. Remember, every gram of weight gain during the week is equivalent to at least more during slaughterfiveKe.

Overall, the key design decisions for new projects so far have been insulation, selection and installation of air intake windows, whether the chicken coop can maintain appropriate pressure, and selection of large fans. Investing in the right design now will ensure the performance of your chicken flock for many years to come.
