Air circulation
When rate of air change is low, it is important that air
is circulated for the following reasons:
• Fresh air should be distributed to all parts of the
house.
• If the warm air, from higher levels in the building
is mixed with lower levels air, birds will enjoy a
more balanced temperature.
• Mixing air allows greater removal of moisture from
the litter, keeping it dry.
• During hot weather, the effect of air moving over
the birds is one of comfort, which can help mitigate
the effect of temperature being above the optimum.
• Avoid direct draughts on the birds.
There are a number of ways to make air circulate within
the house, one of the least expensive is to purchase an
axial fan or air distribution fans.
