Standard poultry house inlet window dimensions are generally expressed as width and height, using centimeters or inches. These dimensions vary depending on the type (manual, automatic, ceiling, wall-mounted) and capacity. For example:
Small inlets: Dimensions of 30x60 centimeters are used for small houses. Large inlets: Have larger dimensions and are used for large houses with high poultry density. In these cases, several medium or small inlets are often used in combination to ensure even airflow distribution.
Calculating Appropriate Dimensions:
Precise inlet dimension calculation requires expertise and the use of specialized formulas and software. Important factors in the calculation include:
House Volume: The size of the house and the ventilatable space.
Poultry Population: The number of birds and their density per unit area.
Poultry Type: The species and age of the poultry affect their ventilation needs.
Climate Conditions: Ambient temperature, humidity, and wind speed.
Ventilation System Type Natural or mechanical ventilation system.
