Temperature control and good ventilation are essential for bird health on any egg farm. Ideal freerange housing provides ample shelter and good cross-flow ventilation in sheds with small flocks. Major production facilities with many thousands of birds in sheds require massive fans and cooling systems to prevent contamination and an extreme heat build-up causing mortalities in the sheds.Ammonia, temperature and humidity are fundamental air quality concerns in poultry housing.The main feature of course is for the hens to enjoy unrestricted access to the vegetated range.
