Supporting broiler welfare: our integrated approach
Air Quality
A well-managed environment improves bird welfare and productivity. Our ventilation and air treatment systems reduce harmful gases, remove dust, and maintain fresh, breathable air.
Lower risk of respiratory issues
Cleaner litter and reduced footpad dermatitis
Healthier barns with less odor and microbial buildup
Climate Control
Balanced heating, ventilation, and cooling systems help create a consistent, stress-free environment that supports natural broiler behaviour and high performance.
Optimised feed intake and weight gain
Reduced mortality and improved uniformity
Environmentally efficient solutions with lower energy costs
FAQ
we answer some of the most frequently asked questions by poultry producers worldwide regarding animal welfare and the impact of climate solutions on broiler performance.
What are the signs that broilers are experiencing heat stress?
Common signs include panting, crowding near fans or walls, reduced feed intake, slower growth, and increased mortality. Proper cooling solutions like evaporative cooling pads and efficient air circulation are essential to prevent these issues.
What’s the ideal temperature range for broiler chickens?
The optimal temperature changes with age. Chicks require around 32–34°C (89–93°F) during the first week, gradually decreasing to 21–24°C (70–75°F) as they grow. Maintaining this temperature with reliable heating and ventilation systems supports health and productivity.
How does ventilation affect air quality in broiler houses?
Ventilation helps remove excess moisture, ammonia, carbon dioxide, and dust. Good air exchange reduces respiratory issues and keeps litter dry. High-efficiency fans and positive-pressure systems can significantly improve indoor air quality.
What type of ventilation system works best for broiler farms?
Tunnel ventilation is ideal for hotter climates and fast-growing birds, while cross and side ventilation are suitable for moderate conditions. The choice depends on the barn design and regional weather. The E-line fans and CELdek pads support various layouts for optimal performance.
