Cobb-Vantress optimizes broiler research with our climate solutions

Cobb-Vantress, a global leader in poultry genetics, needed a state-of-the-art facility in Brazil for the research and development of new broiler genetic lines. To ensure the success of the program, the company chose our broiler climate solutions for a fully automated climate control system that could guarantee optimal conditions year-round.

In this case study, we explore how our technology supported Cobb in achieving its research and development goals.

The challenge: maintaining a perfect climate all year round

The success of a breeding program depends on optimal environmental conditions, which influence the health, growth, and productivity of the chickens. However the geographical location of the new farm in Brazil presented a problem: variable temperatures that required a sophisticated and reliable system to maintain a stable indoor climate, regardless of outside conditions.

The solution: a high-performance broiler climate system

We provided a complete and customized package to meet Cobb’s specific needs. The system integrates various technologies to ensure total environmental control:

Ventilation and circulation: Munters Euroemme fans ensure powerful and efficient air exchange.
Cooling: Munters CELdek MI-T-edg cooling pads, combined with the Easycool water distribution system, can lower the temperature by up to 10°C.
Air quality: Munters Euroemme MWI air inlets ensure a constant supply of fresh air.
Heating: Munters Euroemme GPmp air heaters maintain a comfortable environment during colder months.

Results: success in research and development

Thanks to our broiler climate system, the Cobb-Vantress farm now operates in a completely automated manner. Consequently, the indoor environment remains stable and optimal, eliminating variations that could compromise research data. This has allowed Cobb to focus on their work, knowing that the environmental conditions are impeccably managed, which in turn ensures the health and productivity of the birds and supports the success of their genetic research program.
