In broilers farms, the temperature of the environment plays a critical role in the success of poultry production.
Maintaining an optimal temperature on farms during the early stages of development is essential to ensure the welfare of the chick and to maximise their growth.
In this blog, we explain the importance of proper temperature in broiler management.
IMPORTANCE OF OPTIMAL FARM TEMPERATURE
A suitable temperature contributes significantly to the healthy development of the broilers
During the first weeks of life, broilers rely heavily on their environment to maintain a constant body temperature.
On the one hand, cold an environment can result in slow growth, reduced feed efficiency and increased risk of disease.
On the other hand, too warm an environment can cause heat stress, negatively affecting health and performance.
An optimal thermal environment improves digestion and nutrient absorption, which results in faster growth and heavier birds.
Modern technology offers advanced solutions for monitoring and controlling temperature in poultry farms.
TEMPERATURE CONTROL AND MONITORING SYSTEMS FOR BROILERS FARMS
At Aviporc, we’re on the cutting edge of technology and have the following efficient heating systems, adequate ventilation and automation technologies that allow farmers to adjust and maintain the ideal temperature for each stage of chick growth.
Serenity Climate Control Computer
Thanks to this computer, the farmer has access to quick information to get an overview of his farm.
With its full-colour touch screen you can see whether everything is OK depending on the colour: green, orange or red.
This computer can be used to accelerate or decelerate ventilation quickly and temporarily, in anticipation of an expected heat stress or a sudden drop in temperature.

Direct Combustion System
Direct combustion involves raising the temperature of the air by passing it through a flame. In this process, the air entering the room is already preheated.
In addition, carbon dioxide (CO2) and moisture are produced as a by-product of this reaction.
Indirect Combustion Systems
Indirect combustion is characterised by the heating of the air by means of conduction through pipes. In this process, the air entering the room is already preheated due to the heat exchange in the pipe system.
In conclusion, temperature in chick or broiler farms is not just a detail, but a critical factor that has a direct impact on productivity.
Investing in a proper thermal management system not only improves the living conditions of the birds, but also contributes to the long-term success of the farm.
