How to utilize the automated environmental control system to reduce the mortality rate caused by heat stress?

1.High temperatures are the "invisible killer" in chicken farming.

During chicken farming, the summer heat is the most troublesome season for farm managers. As the temperature rises, chickens are prone to heat stress (Heat Stress), which manifests as a decrease in feed intake, a slowdown in growth rate, and in severe cases, a large-scale death. For modern farms that aim for high output, how to effectively deal with high temperatures and maintain farm profitability is a crucial issue.

2.The limitations of traditional ventilation methods 

There are obvious "dead zones" in the chicken coop, resulting in uneven growth of the chicken flock.
2. Delayed response

Relying on manual observation for adjustment, measures are often taken only after the chicken flock shows a stress response, missing the best intervention opportunity.
3. Energy waste

The equipment cannot perform intelligent variable frequency regulation based on the real-time temperature and humidity in the coop, leading to high electricity costs.

3.Retech Farming Intelligent Environmental Control System 

As an expert in modern farming equipment, Retech Farming offers an automated environmental control system, which is designed to provide broiler chickens with a constant temperature, humidity, and fresh air environment for their growth.

1. Intelligent Temperature and Humidity Sensor:
The system continuously monitors the temperature and humidity data in each area of the chicken coop with an accuracy of ±0.5℃. Once the temperature exceeds the set threshold, the system will automatically trigger the cooling program.

According to the actual measurement data from multiple large-scale broiler farming projects by Retech Farming:

• Mortality rate reduction: After adopting the automated environmental control system, the average mortality rate due to heat stress in summer for broilers decreased by 15% to 25%.
• Growth efficiency improvement: The stable environment ensured the feed intake of broilers, and the feed-to-gain ratio (FCR) was optimized by 3% to 5%.
• Cost savings in labor: Automated management reduced the time for manual inspections and manual adjustments, allowing one person to easily manage multiple chicken houses.

The competition in the broiler farming industry is essentially a competition in terms of environmental control capabilities. Investing in a professional automated environmental control system is not only a guarantee for the lives of the chickens, but also an investment in the long-term profits of the farm. Retech Farming is dedicated to providing a one-stop solution for global farmers, covering from design, installation to after-sales service.
