Broiler farming solutions in the hot climate of the United Arab Emirates

In the hot and dry desert climate of the United Arab Emirates, poultry farming faces severe challenges. High temperatures can affect the growth rate and survival rate of broiler chickens, and may also cause feed to deteriorate, increasing the cost of farming. As a key part of agricultural development in the Middle East, local farmers are all seeking reliable modern solutions. This article will share a real case: how an agricultural doctor from the United Arab Emirates successfully addressed the issue of high temperatures using Retech's broiler cage system, achieving efficient and sustainable broiler farming.

The Challenges of High Temperatures in the UAE on Poultry Farming

The summer temperatures in the United Arab Emirates often exceed 40°C, combined with high humidity, this extreme weather can affect the following aspects of livestock farming:

• Chicken growth is hindered: High temperatures cause heat stress in chickens, reducing feed intake, prolonging the growth cycle, and decreasing the weight gain rate. According to agricultural research, the feed conversion rate of broilers in a high-temperature environment can decrease by 15%-20%.
• Risk of feed deterioration: The feed towers and feed storage systems are exposed to high temperatures, which can easily lead to mold growth and nutrient loss, increasing the risk of disease transmission.
• Overall operating costs have increased: Traditional farming requires additional investment in cooling equipment, but the efficiency is low and it is difficult to achieve large-scale production.

These issues have deterred the farmers in the United Arab Emirates. Especially our client, an agricultural doctor renowned in the field of crops. He plans to expand his broiler farming business, but is deeply concerned about the adaptability to the local climate.

Retech's automatic broiler cages: Professionally customized solutions for the challenge of high temperatures

Retech, as a globally leading supplier of poultry farming equipment, offers customers a complete solution. Our equipment is exported to 80+ countries and regions around the world, and we have accumulated rich experience in hot regions. In response to the specific needs of the UAE customers, our steel structure department promptly intervened and provided customized solutions.

1. Selection of steel structure materials that can withstand high temperatures

 The steel structure team of Retech, considering the extreme climate in the United Arab Emirates, selected high-temperature-resistant and corrosion-resistant galvanized steel and aluminum components. These materials undergo special heat treatment, which enables them to withstand temperatures above 50°C without deformation, ensuring the stability and durability of the chicken coop structure. Compared to traditional iron frames, our system has a lower thermal expansion coefficient, reducing the risk of stress cracks caused by high temperatures.

2. Matta insulation measures: Effectively preventing feed from deteriorating

Feed spoilage is the core pain point in high-temperature farming. The large material tower design of Retech incorporates multiple layers of insulation technology, including:

• Polyurethane foam insulation layer: with a thickness of up to 50mm, it can keep the internal temperature of the material tower below 25°C, preventing the penetration of high temperatures that cause feed oxidation and mold growth.
• Reflective coating shell: using silver reflective film, it blocks over 90% of solar radiation, combined with the ventilation system, achieving natural cooling.
• Intelligent monitoring integration: Equipped with temperature sensors and automatic ventilation devices. When the internal temperature exceeds the threshold, the system automatically activates fans or sprays to cool down, ensuring the freshness of the feed. 

3. Ventilation and Cooling of Chicken Coops

Retech's H-type chicken house with a negative pressure ventilation system and wet curtain walls helps to enhance air circulation, reducing the internal temperature of the chicken coop by 5-8°C. This effectively alleviates heat stress and lowers the mortality rate of the chickens.

Customer Case: From Doubt to Successful Decision

These professional suggestions completely dispelled the client's doubts. Eventually, he decided to invest in building 2 modern chicken houses, each capable of accommodating 30,000 chickens, with a total capacity of 60,000 chickens. This not only marks another milestone for Retech in the Middle East market, but also sets a benchmark for the local poultry industry. 

Choose Retech, a reliable manufacturer of poultry farming equipment.

Achieving efficient and stable broiler farming in hot climates is not a challenge. By leveraging modern farming equipment, heat-insulating designs for feed towers, and our professional expertise in steel structure and local material selection, you can obtain a feasible, maintainable, and low-risk solution.

FAQ

1. How to ensure stable broiler growth in high-temperature regions?

Enclosed chicken houses combined with tunnel ventilation systems, feed tower insulation design, and synergistic cooling with steel structures, along with intelligent temperature control and monitoring, achieve a stable breeding environment.

2. How if feed spoils at high temperatures?
Feed towers employ moisture-proof, mold-proof, and sealing technologies, equipped with temperature and humidity sensors and automatic temperature/humidity control systems to ensure feed freshness and nutritional stability.

3. How long does the construction period usually take?
A solution for two buildings totaling 60,000 chickens is typically completed in phases, provided on-site conditions permit, ensuring controllable quality and schedule. An overseas installation team accompanies the project throughout.

4. How is the return on investment (ROI) assessed?

Through comprehensive cost analysis, energy and feed efficiency improvement, and output stability factors, a cash flow sensitivity analysis is conducted to provide return predictions for various scenarios.
