Humidity adjustment in broiler houses

Encyclopedia of humidity regulation in broiler coops

Broiler chicken cage farmers pay great attention to the temperature control of the chicken house, but often ignore the humidity control of the chicken house. So how to adjust the humidity of the chicken house?

1. Humidity control in chicken house during brooding period. The humidity in the chicken house during the brooding period should be maintained at 60-65%. To increase the humidity in the chicken house, you can place several pots filled with water in the house, and increase the humidity of the air in the house by evaporation. It can also be regularly disinfected. To increase the humidity in the house, it is not recommended to sprinkle water on the ground or install sprinklers to increase the humidity in the house.

2. Humidity control in rearing house. The humidity in the rearing house should be maintained at 40-60%. The proper humidity is conducive to the normal growth of broilers. Humidity must not be too high or too low. If the humidity is too low, it may cause dehydration of broilers, poor feather growth, dry skin, and dust in the air, which may easily induce respiratory diseases. If the humidity is too high in summer, it will cause the chicken body to evaporate and dissipate heat, reduce feed intake, increase water consumption, and cause heat stroke. If the humidity is too high in winter, it will cause excessive heat loss, increase feed intake, and increase feed consumption As a result, the feed-to-meat ratio is increased and the cost of breeding is increased.

笼 Broiler cage cultivation requires investment not only financial resources, but also a lot of manpower and material resources. More careful and patient, every link cannot be ignored.
