The U.S. Egg and Poultry Association Foundation announced the completion of a funded research project at the University of Georgia. The study suggests new design parameters for high air velocity distribution in tunnel-ventilated broiler houses. The project is part of the association's comprehensive research program encompassing all phases of poultry and egg production and processing. A complete report of the summary is available via the U.S. Egg and Poultry Association website.
F034: Factors Determining Air Velocity Distribution in Tunnel-Ventilated Broiler Houses
Dr. Brian Fairchild and Dr. Mike Czarick at the University of Georgia found important interactions between airspeed, static pressure, and air velocity distribution in tunnel-ventilated broiler houses. Airspeeds in a modern broiler house can be in excess of 600 feet per minute. The study recommends that poultry companies targeting higher airspeeds design their fan requirements at higher static pressures than the traditional design pressure of 0.1 inches of water column.
