•Air
•Oxygen
•Relative Humidity
•Temperature
Air Quality
Oxygen(O2) more than 19.6%
Carbon Dioxide(CO2)less than 0.3%
Carbon Monoxide(CO) less than 10 PPM
Ammonia(NH3)less than 10 PPM
Dust less than 3.4 mg/m3
Relative humidity (RH) 45-65%
Important Parameters
1. Volume of the house(m3or ft3)
2. Cubic feet per minute(CFM)
3. Speed of air(m/s)
4. Cross section of the building=w x h(m2)
5. Temperature(⁰C or ⁰F)
6. Relative humidity(%)
Factors to achieve high yield
1. Total environmental control
(ventilation)
2. Hatchery to supply quality chick
(ventilation)
3. Right stocking density
(ventilation)
4. Management at farm
(ventilation)
5. Good quality air (volume) in the house
(ventilation)
6. Vaccination and health program
7. Availability of clean and cool water
8. To fulfill feed requirements
9. Uniform light intensity
Ventilations types
1. Natural Ventilation:
Only Minimum ventilation is available but no
mechanical vent.
1. Minimum Ventilation:
Low air velocity but long air exchange during
brooding and cold weather.
1. Transition Ventilation:
Low air velocity, better air exchange rate.
1. Summer Ventilation:
Temperature control, high air speed to reduce
effective temperature.
Important factors we must know
1. Cubic volume of air to be handled
2. Number of fans required
3. Air inlet area must match with total fan
capacity
4. Air speed along the house
5. Relative humidity
6. Evaporative cooling
7. Condensation
Volume of air in a house
Length x Width x Average height
Example:
Length = 328 feet
Width = 46 feet
Average height =
= = 10 feet

Air inlet area
Total CFM of the fans standard CFM per
square feet / Minute of 6 inch Pads
Note:
For 6 inch cool pads (45⁰ x 45⁰ or 30⁰ x 30⁰)
400 CFM per 1 ft2

Air speed/air exchange
During brooding there is no need of air speed
across the birds but proper air exchange is a
must
