Guidelines for Building an Enclosed Chicken House


What is an enclosed chicken house?

Closed chicken house is also called windowless chicken house. There are no windows on the four walls of the chicken house, only air inlet, fans and cooling pads are set, and electric lamps are installed in the house, and artificial lighting is used all the year round. A fan is installed on the wall of the chicken house for ventilation. The temperature and relative humidity can be controlled by changing the ventilation quantity and the speed of air flow.


Environmental Requirments For Closed Chicken House

1.Maintain good hygiene and comfortable environment
2.Sufficient feed and good quality feed
3.Good water quality and sufficient oxygen
4.Proper and stable temperature and humidity


Main Advantages Of Closed Chicken House

1.Controllable environment, meeting the growth requirements

The environment of the chicken house is stable, not easy to be affected by the natural environment, and the production is stable and safe. Through the manual control operation technology, it is beneficial to control the growth and development of the chicken, sexual maturity and stimulate the egg laying cycle, so as to facilitate the monitoring of the quality of the chicken group.

2.Save manpower and reduce feeding cost

The ventilation, lighting, humidity, feeding, drinking water and epidemic prevention of the closed chicken house are all controlled by mechanical and electronic, which will reduce the human investment. At the same time, due to the advanced technology of the breeding equipment, the artificial feed waste will be greatly reduced, so as to reduce the feeding cost at the same time of improving the production efficiency.

3.Easy to disinfect and reduce cross infection

Due to the good isolation between the closed chicken house and the outside world, the probability of pathogenic microorganisms inside and outside the chicken house entering into the chicken house will be reduced, and the disinfection and sterilization in the chicken house can be controlled in a certain space, so the chance of cross infection will be greatly reduced, which is conducive to the prevention and control of epidemics, especially major epidemics.


The Reasons For Abnormal Temperature In Closed Chicken House

1.No ventilation for a long time, too much harmful gas, or insulation equipment failure

2.Improper use of insulation equipment or quality problems of insulation wall in chicken house

3.The size of the cooling pads are not suitable or the ventilation time is too long

4.High feeding density or poor airtightness of chicken house


The Reasons For Abnormal Humidity In Closed Chicken House

1.The temperature of the chicken house is too high and the ventilation is insufficient

2.The moisture content of chicken manure is too high and it is not cleaned in time

3.Water line damaged and leaking

4.The ground is wet and the moisture is large


Harm Of Abnormal Temperature And Humidity In Closed Chicken House

1.Increase drinking water and reduce food intake

2.Low egg production and slow growth

3.Block heat dissipation and easy to get heatstroke
