Animal welfare
Good air quality, optimal feed management and good husbandry practices are essential to ensuring the welfare of broiler chickens. Poor air quality, lack of proper nutrition, and inadequate living conditions can lead to various issues, including respiratory problems, disease and reduced growth rates. By providing an optimal environment, broiler chickens can thrive and reach their full potential, which is why profitability and welfare go hand in hand. Providing the appropriate climate reduces stress, injury and diseases, improving the quality of the meat.
Promoting natural behavior with real-time climate control
Climate control plays a vital role in promoting movement and natural behaviors. By regulating ventilation, temperature, circulation, and humidity, climate control ensures that the indoor environment mimics the birds' natural habitat, promoting their physical and mental well-being. Optimal temperature levels reduce heat stress, which encourages the birds to engage in natural behaviors such as dust bathing, pecking, and preening. Controlled ventilation also helps to reduce ammonia levels, a factor known to suppress broiler activity. Maintaining an appropriate level of humidity helps to reduce dust and promote healthy respiratory functions.
Ultimately, by providing a comfortable and natural environment for broiler chickens, climate control can enhance their quality of life, increase their overall health, and promote higher productivity.
