Ventilation design of broiler houses studied

摘要

APPROXIMATELY 80% of the cooling produced in a modern tunnel-ventilated poultry house is the result of wind speed moving over birds, according to recent research by Dr. Brian Fairchild and Dr. Mike Czarick at the University of Georgia. In a study funded by the USPOULTRY Foundation, Fairchild and Czarick found important interactions among airspeed, static pressure and air velocity distribution in tunnel-ventilated broiler houses.
