Basic information

The environmental control system is a very useful system in the poultry battery cage farming, most importantly there are many features for environmental control system. With the rapid development of poultry farming industry, there are some unfavorable factors in the production of some poultry industries. On the one hand, it causes environmental pollution

On the other hand, it occurs frequently in most poultry farming manufacturers, some poultry markets have a severe lag in poultry disease control, leading to high incidence of high mortality for chickens. Direct and indirect economic losses can amount to hundreds of millions of dollars, so a comprehensive understanding of environmental control factors in poultry health and disease control relationship is very necessary

Improvements to poultry housing systems in developing countries have focused on providing an environment that satisfies the birds’ thermal requirements. The environment provided to poultry flocks has a great bearing on flock performance and profitability. The basic environment consists of feed, lighting, air (temperature, humidity, pathogen concentration and ammonia), water, and litter, quality, birds are homoeothermic

The internal body temperature in the adult chicken variability is between 105°F and between (40.6° and 41.7°C) and increases daily until it reaches a stable level at about three weeks of age. Birds have feathers that help them regulate their body temperature Their air sacs allow inhaled air (usually cooler than body temperature) to reach deep into the abdominal capacity so when the bird exhales heat is removed from the body. Birds do not have sweat glands

Birds use a panting mechanism during hot weather to evaporate water from its throat, thus reducing body temperature. Environmental control units (ECUs) are devices that allow people with mobility impairments to operate electronic devices, including televisions, computers, lights, appliances, and more. There are many commercially available ECU devices. However they typically fall into two broad categories stand-alone and computer-based devices

Description

The poultry house environment control system is a machine that is made from hot galvanized steel sheet combined with high strength steel plate that supports the machine and helps to keep it level. It has an independent device for opening and shutting that ensures it remains at 90 degrees and will cut off when necessary with having to open

The motor of the machine utilizes 100 percent copper wire filling those results in durability and a low repair rate. Please note that the 380v or 220v. Siemens motor requires a separate order and the blades are made from high quality corrosion resistant Grade 430 stainless steel. They are very strong and create a large volume of air

The protective stainless steel cage is closed to prevent foreign matter and birds from getting into the exhaust fan. Shutter plates are thick and durable

Features

1. The environmental control system also known as ventilation fan can ensure the stable climate for poultry farm. It can also guarantee the best fresh air for the flocks, thus chickens living in the chicken coop equipped with ventilation fan would be healthier than that living without the ventilation fan. What’s more, with the high evaporation efficiency of ventilation system, the important part of environment control system can be quick and easy to install, thus reduce the production and labor costs

2. Environmental control system deserve you to take a look for function of ventilation: supply sufficient oxygen, exhaust harmful gases and reduce the concentration of NH3, H2S, CO2 and other harmful gases for the flocks to eliminate excessive quantity of heat, so the temperature was kept relatively discounted appropriate

3. All poultry houses need some form of ventilation to ensure an adequate supply of oxygen while removing carbon dioxide, other waste gases and dust

4. Genetics and nutritional improvements in broiler production have been extremely important to the efficiency of poultry meat production; however, the full genetic potential of broilers cannot be reached unless the proper environment is maintained in the broiler house. The fast growing, modern broiler lines are more dependent on proper environmental conditions than birds from lines raised just a few years ago

5. In hot weather, strong winds are needed to achieve an acceptable air exchange rate. In cool weather, cold outside air is likely to drop directly onto the birds. There are two types of artificial ventilation positive and negative ventilation. In environmentally controlled house generally negative ventilation is used


Environmental control measures

1. Temperature

Temperature levels are vital for poultry to thrive. If the temperature is too hot the chickens will start panting and they will change the position of their bodies to try and get cool. If this happens they will eat less and this will directly affect production because they will lose weight, when it is too cold, they tend to huddle together to get warm. When they do this they use what is known as “feed energy” to get warm, and they will need more food. If chickens have sufficient tissue insulation under the skin they might not be badly affected by a drop in temperature. But they will only develop this subcutaneous fat layer if they are being well fed 

2. Relative humidity

While most of us think about humidity as damp, hot, and unpleasant air that makes us feel sweaty and uncomfortable, when it comes to the poultry house it is a bit more complicated, the most important factor is relative humidity, which is measured by comparing the maximum humidity in the air with how much moisture there is in the air at a certain temperature. While relative humidity is measured scientifically, the important factor for the farmer is chicken health. This is because some respiratory diseases are caused by relative humidity that is too high, and others by relative humidity that is too low. And the main problem is that if the relative humidity is excessively high, condensation in the open type poultry house promotes the growth of harmful micro-organisms that can affect the poultry adversely, in the air. It is much more useful to measure humidity and temperature and to compare these measurements in terms of relativity. But it is quite an expensive process so is often ignored

3. Healthy air composition

Healthy air is vital to all living creatures. Gas and dust are both potentially extremely harmful to birds. Birds breathe in oxygen and breathe out a mixture of carbon dioxide and water. Even if the oxygen levels in the air are low they won’t suffer from “lack of oxygen”. However, there are some harmful gases that can adversely affect poultry including too much carbon dioxide that is primarily from air that is exhaled by the chickens, ammonia that is a by-product of manure and is easily bound to water. If the ammonia content is too high in the air the mucous membranes of the chickens will become irritated, hydrogen sulphide that also results from manure when it composes, it smells like rotten eggs and is considered to be a very dangerous gas. It can be fatal for humans animals so must be removed from the air, carbon monoxide that develops when there is not enough oxygen. It has no smell and is a very dangerous gas that can also kill and Sulphur dioxide that tends to develop when oil isused for fuel. If it is clean it usually is not a problem, but if oil is polluted sulphur dioxide will usually form

4. Movement of air

Young chicks are much more sensitive to air movement that older birds, but air draft is an issue that needs to be considered. Draft value is the measure poultry farmers need to be aware of, so to determine draft value you need to ascertain the difference in temperature between the air outside that blows into the open type poultry house and the air that is already inside. This must be multiplied by the speed of the air. So it is not something a layman could easily estimate, air movement is a lot easier to control if you can estimate draft value but it is dependent on internal ventilation, the size of the poultry house, and the slope of the roof. The way the coop is organized also plays a role. Ultimately, natural ventilation in poultry houses is preferred by many farmers because it costs less and less maintenance is required

Principles

1. The basic principle of cooling pad in the environmental control system is to change the hot air into cooler air for poultry chickens

2. The higher the temperature, the lower the relative humidity and the better the cooling effect because evaporation is more likely to occur. The corrugated surface of cellulose paper has a thin water film

3. When external hot air is sucked through the cooling pad through the exhaust fan, moisture on the water film absorbs heat and evaporates into steam, so cold air will enter the house

4. The cooling pad is made of specially formulated cellulose paper impregnated with insoluble preservative salt, even in hot weather. You can provide your chicken with a comfortable house climate. The panel can be mounted on a wall or outside the tunnel and non-hood structure
