A healthy climate will help your birds thrive, improving your yield !
Creating a healthy climate, a balanced combination between air temperature and air quality will help to deliver maximum results from your poultry. This is relevant no matter if you are raising broilers or housing layers.
Agro Supply ECO Units are innovative heat exchangers with minimum ventilation, ideal to create an optimal climate at a constant level no matter the weather conditions outside. Our ECO Unit can truly help you save money and deliver you a higher yield. We have seen at poultry farms across the globe how our ECO Units can help broiler farmers to save significant amounts of gas, up to 75%! And how layer farmers can save an average of 6 grams of feed per bird, per day and gain 10* eggs per bird, per flock!!
* based on field studies with flock length of 73 weeks and 90-week-old hens
The ECO Unit is a heat exchange with minimum ventilation. It uses the heat from the air being exhausted from the house to warm up the fresh air being brought in. The two airflows never mix so there is no risk of the old air being blown back in, or cross-contamination.
Instead, the incoming and outgoing air pass over each other in a series of thin tubes, allowing the outgoing air to warm up the air coming in. The air actually travels through 1,325m² of contact surfaces.
By 'exchanging' the warm energy in this way, the new air entering the house creates far less cooling than a simple venting approach of letting outside air straight in. It can circulate up to 30.000m3 of air an hour per unit and has higher performance ratios vs smaller heat exchangers. In fact the process is so effective that it typically recovers 80% of te heat from the expelled air, which would otherwise be lost completely. The healthy air will also mean lower ammonia emissions and better litter quality.

It is crucial to understand your birds are using feed to heat up not only themselves but the entire house. During cold outside temperatures, they will consume even more feed. Costly business as up to 60% of each egg sold is made up of feed cost.
