Basic information

The poultry house has occupied a leading role in the agriculture industry worldwide in recent years. A comfortable or good poultry house should be in good areas that will directly affects the optimum growth and production in commercial poultry house, the poultry house refers to the method of housing chickens so that they can have the opportunity to roam around the poultry farm

Poultry house refers to the method of keeping domesticated birds such as chickens, ducks, and turkeys for the goal of producing meat or eggs for human use. In addition, poultry house has grown rapidly since it is very simple to set up and manage. Furthermore, there are various varieties of poultry houses, which you can group according to the species and age of the poultry house

Additionally, the type of poultry house you design for your chickens may also be determined by its cost and upkeep method. It also depends on the birds’ needs at the various stage of their growth. Poultry houses have water lines, a droppings disposal system, and central heating and ventilation systems. Finally, their equipment is made at a factory to ensure that production processes are organized to the maximum extent possible

Features

1. The poultry house must have to be well ventilated

2. Ensure sufficient entrance of sunlight and fresh air inside the poultry house

3. It will be better if the house become situated north to south faced

4. If you make several houses, then the proper distance of one house to another house is about 40 feet

5. Clean the house properly before keeping the birds inside the poultry house

6. Make a deep liter of the poultry house and keep it dry and clean always

7. Build the poultry house in such a place where all the poultry birds are free from all types of wild animals and other predators

8. The poultry house area should be free from loud sound/sound pollution

9. Make the poultry house in quiet and calm place

10. It will be better if you can build the house in an open air place

Basic requirements for poultry house

1. Space (density of birds per unit area)

This is the most important basic principle in poultry house, as the space available determines the number and type of poultry birds that can be kept. For example, a deep litter house measuring 6 m by 11 m can hold 200 laying hens at a stock density of 3 birds/m2 (3.6 ft2/bird) Under the older system of measuring, stock density was measured in ft2 per bird, which is the inverse of birds per m2 used in the metric system, incorporating a conversion factor of 0.0929 m2/ft2 (for details, see the appendix entitled Abbreviations and Conversions). Hen groups are comfortable at a stock density of three to four birds per square meter. If more space is allowed, a greater variety of behavior can be expressed. Less space creates stressed social behavior, allowing disease vulnerability and cannibalism and leaving weaker birds deprived of feed or perch space. Individual birds need more room for normal behavior and adequate exercise than the 22 birds/m2 (0.5 ft2/bird] density currently used in commercial laying cages. Over recent decades, animal welfare concerns have encouraged research on poultry house structures to make designs better suited to the needs of hens, while retaining cost-effectiveness for production

2. Light (duration and intensity)

A well-lit house is essential in poultry house. A dark house leads to lethargic, inactive, unproductive birds. Light is important for feeding, as poultry identify food by sight. This is especially important for intensively managed day-old chicks, which need very bright 24-hour lighting for their first week of life. Light is also an important factor in sexual maturity. An increasing light proportion in the day, as naturally occurs from mid-winter to mid-summer, will accelerate sexual maturity in growing pullets, bringing them to lay sooner. If hens are already lying, the increasing light proportion will increase egg production. The opposite effect is also true: as the light proportion of the day decreases (as naturally occurs from mid-summer to mid-winter), then sexual maturity is slowed in growing stock, and egg production is reduced in laying hens. These effects are somewhat reduced towards the equator, as the difference in the daylight proportion of a day changes less and less

3. Ventilation (air flow)

Ventilation is an important factor in poultry house. A building with open sides is ideal, otherwise cross-ventilation at bird-level should be allowed for in the form of floor level inlets, open in a direction to allow the prevailing wind to blow across the width of the building. An air mass between the side walls of a poultry house resists being moved, even across an open-sided building. The wider the building, the more the resistant it is to air movement. Buildings over 8 m (26 ft) wide have a significantly greater problem because of this inherent property of air to resist movement. It is recommended that buildings relying on natural airflow for ventilation should not exceed 8 m in width. Heat stress is a significant constraint to successful production and can lead to death. Although birds can withstand several degrees below freezing, they do not tolerate temperatures over 40 °C, this depends on the relative humidity prevailing at the time

4. Protection (shelter sheds and buildings)

Many factors influence the type and choice of poultry house to protect the birds from the effects of weather and predators. These include the local climate, the available space, the size of the flock and the management system. In extensive systems, birds must be protected from disease and predators but also be able to forage. Traditional large animal fencing using live plants is not enough protection against predators such as snakes, kites, rats and other vermin

Principles

1. Poultry house should be located away from residential and industrial area

2. It should have proper road facilities

3. It should have the basic amenities like water and electricity

4. Availability of farm labors at relatively cheaper wages

5. Poultry house should be located in an elevated area and there should not be any water-logging

6. It should have proper ventilation
