You have learned that poultry farming is a broad industry. Poultry farming has different purposes, but these different chicken poultry farm types are similar in farm building appearance. In this article, we divide it into different types of poultry farms to introduce to you according to different feeding purposes. There are usually 3 types of live poultry farms in the poultry industry, broiler poultry farms, egg poultry farms, and foster poultry farms.
Regarding the space requirement for the broiler
The space requirement for broilers in a poultry house depends on various factors, such as the type of breed, age of the birds, feeding and watering equipment, and ventilation systems. As a general guideline, broilers typically require a space of about 1 square foot (0.093 square meters) per bird when raised in a confined space, such as a poultry house. Therefore, for example, if you are raising 10,000 broilers, you would need a poultry house with an area of at least 10,000 square feet (929 square meters) to allow enough space for them to move and grow. However, it's important to note that these are rough estimates, and you should consult with a qualified poultry specialist to determine the optimal space requirement based on your specific situation.
When making a poultry farm design, factors such as the ground, walls, shape, and ventilation conditions of the poultry farm should be considered according to the type of the poultry farm and the objects to be raised, in order to achieve the best environment in the house and meet the needs of production.
The best poultry farm design includes broiler houses, living housing, feed warehouses, brooding rooms, and other houses. The size of the poultry farms' construction land should meet the needs of breeding, and it is best to leave the area for future development. For example, to build a chicken poultry farm for 10,000 broilers, the total area is generally 2,500 square meters. If future development is considered, the area should be increased. The size of the chicken poultry farm's house directly affects the stocking density of chickens. A reasonable stocking density can make chicks obtain enough range of activities, enough drinking water, and feeding position, this is conducive to the growth and development of chickens.
For business poultry farms, we usually use prefabricated poultry farms, then the span of the steel structure chicken poultry house is generally 9-12 meters (depending on the cage, aisle width, and ventilation conditions in the poultry house), and the height (eaves height) is 2.5 - 3 meters. Although increasing the height of the poultry farm's steel structure is conducive to ventilation, it will increase the construction cost and increase the difficulty of heat preservation in winter, so the height of the chicken poultry farmhouse does not need to be too high.
Poultry farming is now endowed with high commercial value, and modern poultry farms are generally automatic poultry farms with equipment. The main Poultry farm equipment includes chicken cages, feeding equipment, drinking water equipment, manure removal equipment, hatching and brooding equipment, egg collection Equipment, chicken manure thermal drying equipment, etc. They are configured according to the feeding direction of the chicken farm. If chicken farms are without commercial feed sources, there should also be equipped with feed processing equipment.
