Whether the number of fans is sufficient

Each fan has a nameplate indicating its power, which represents the maximum exhaust volume. Farmers should observe and calculate whether the total exhaust volume of all fans can replace the air in the chicken house within one minute. If not, it means there are too few fans install in the chicken house.

Whether the area of the wet curtains is sufficient

Farmers should install wet curtain in chicken house according to the area of the chicken house. Therefore, when installing wet curtains, farmers should calculate the cross-sectional area of the chicken house and check if the area of the wet curtains is sufficient.

The timing of wet curtain activation

Farmers should gradually activate the wet curtains. They should not fully open them all at once the first time. Instead, they should open them for a few seconds initially, observe how long it takes for the wet curtains to dry. And it check if the temperature in the chicken house decreases. Finally, they can decide on the duration of opening and closing the wet curtains to maintain a suitable temperature in the chicken house.

Issues with water used for wet curtains

Farmers should use recycled water. If cold water is used, the temperature near the wet curtains decreases too quickly, while the temperature at the far end remains high. This results in a small evaporation rate and a minimal cooling effect. At the same time, farmers should add disinfectants to the water to prevent bacteria from the wet curtains affecting the health of the poultry.
