On a farm, an animal’s well-being is largely reflected in its production. Whether it’s a dairy cow, a chicken, a calf or a pig, a healthy animal will be much more productive.

More and more poultry farmers are installing heat recovery ventilators (HRVs) in their chicken farm. Thanks to a study recently conducted by Sollio Agriculture in collaboration with ESA Series, we can now confirm that the use of these devices in poultry farming leads to notably improved results.

The key to healthy birds is good management. Here are the best practices for managing your urban chickens.

Henhouse

A good henhouse should protect poultry from the weather (wind, rain), predators, wild animals, and pets.

If the birds do not have access to the outdoors, you should plan for at least one square foot of space per bird. The higher the slaughter weight, the larger the area should be.
