For traditional and enclosed chicken coop farms, ventilation is a common challenge. When the environment for broiler chickens meets specific breeding needs, they can easily unleash their economic and genetic potential. The purpose of designing a ventilation system is to automatically manage the environment of broiler chickens, especially during the brooding stage.
Maintain air quality
A key requirement of the ventilation system is to meet the oxygen needs of modern broiler chickens，Ensure even distribution of fresh air throughout the entire chicken coop.Oxygen is not only used to generate the heat needed by the body，It is also used for the metabolism of nutrients, thereby promoting growth.The ventilation system exhausts carbon dioxide from the chicken coop，Provide oxygen necessary for the healthy development of the cardiovascular system in chicks，This helps to prevent chicks from developing diseases such as ascites, which occur when oxygen demand increases5%It can be avoided at that time.
Remove excess moisture
The ventilation system is also responsible for removing excess moisture from the padding.Modern broiler chickens aretwenty-eightWhat is the amount of water consumed by Tianshitwenty-fiveNear years agotwotimes.about75%The daily drinking water is discharged by the respiratory system in the form of water vapor, or discharged onto the bedding with feces.
The padding in the chicken coop acts like a sponge.If the ventilation system cannot maintain the humidity of the padding at a normal level，The surface of the cushion material will eventually become wet and slippery.Once moisture condenses onto the surface, the moisture in the cushion material cannot be released, and this process is irreversible. This is a very dangerous and unsanitary environment，It can breed a lot of bacteria, have a strong ammonia smell, be infected by insects, and even cause damage to the foot pads of chicks.however，If the moisture content is properly managed, it will ensure that the oxygen and carbon dioxide content is maintained within a reasonable range.
Adjust temperature
The third function of the ventilation system is to maintain a reasonable temperature distribution throughout the entire broiler house. fourteenChickens before their age cannot self regulate their body temperature，Relying on external heat to maintain body temperature.Keeping chicks warm and comfortable, ensuring reasonable feed supply, drinking sufficient fresh water, and ensuring the normal operation of the ventilation system are key factors determining the overall performance of the chicken flock.
