Abstract |
This study was carried out to investigate and evaluate the actual of different operation systems used for the most widely broiler houses in Egypt (open houses). Twenty-five broiler houses were selected in Dakhlia governorate to assess the most suitable systems. Working performance and unit production of these type of houses were the criterion used in assessment. The studied systems included different house specifications (house length/width ratio, and ventilation area /floor area), bird density and systems of feeding, drinking, heating ventilation, and lighting. The criteria of broiler performance included feed consumption, body weight, mortality and production index. Energy consumption and cost/kg of bird body were also calculated. The length/width ratio of 2.6, ventilation area/floor area of 22 %, auger feeding system, straight-valve drinking system, exhaust fan ventilation system, umbrella gas heating system, 20 Watt fluorescent lighting lamps and 9 birds/m2 bird density have given the highest performance for the (open system) broiler houses
