Poultry House Heating Systems
Ecoheat Poultry House Heating Systems
In order to achieve optimum performance in terms of growth rate, uniformity, feed evaluation and carcass without compromising the welfare and health of poultry, it is necessary to create suitable environmental conditions. One of the functions of ventilation, especially in the early stages of the production period, is to help maintain the appropriate poultry house temperature to keep the birds in their comfort zone. Since the actual sensible temperature inside the poultry house will vary according to the relative humidity, the apparent comfort of the birds should always be the basis for heating. With Ecoheat infrared heat technology, sufficient heating capacity can be provided in the healthiest and most economical way to maintain the poultry house temperature throughout the year.
With Ecoheat infrared heat technology, the poultry will reproduce in a much healthier environment because the distribution of heat throughout the poultry house is as healthy as the heat emitted by the sun. In the early stages of the production cycle, the heating system should be close to the temperature set for the poultry house. As the birds grow and begin to produce more body heat, the difference between the required temperature for the poultry house and the temperature at which the heaters are activated can be increased. The heater can also be set to kick on when the temperature drops 1-2°C below the required temperature of the poultry house. These decisions and adjustments should be based on the apparent response and comfort of the birds.
