Why Poultry Air Inlet Design Impacts Flock Health

Good ventilation is essential to keep chickens healthy. When we say ventilation we are talking about how air is distributed inside the chicken house. This is very beneficial for the chickens because they require fresh, clean air in order to remain healthy. If the air doesn’t circulate well, then it can begin to feel stuffy and dirty, and the chickens can get sick. And that’s why a good coaled air inlet design is key.

Noteworthy air intakes reduce the risk of heat stress. Chickens can get oven-hot, particularly when all bunched up. And, if there isn’t fresh enough air coming in, they can start to feel too hot and uncomfortable. This is known as heat stress, and it is not good for the chickens. A well-engineered air inlet provides for the easy introduction of cool air, and the chickens are at a satisfactory temperature.
