When was the last time you peeked into the attic of your poultry house? Do you know what the insulation looks like? Over the years wind, rodents, and gravity can take a toll on ceiling insulation. If you have areas of uninsulated ceiling it can cost you big bucks on fuel bills. The thermal image above (looking down on the bare ceiling material) shows the extreme amount of heat being lost due to the lack of insulation. This house is overdue for a new ceiling insulation job!

Cold weather has arrived. Managing broiler houses in cold weather shifts us into a much lower ventilation rate than in warmer weather. Our goal in cooler weather is to ventilate for moisture control and air quality. Done right, this will improve many other aspects of the bird environment, such as ammonia exposure and litter quality. However, if we get behind on ventilation, houses and litter can get wet very quickly. The key to good litter moisture management is to start the flock off with good litter moisture levels and run increasing ventilation as the flock progresses to keep up with the moisture that is being deposited daily by the birds. It is that simple.Download Newsletter Here
