The question "How to calculate force NFF tertification poultry broilers house" is interpreted as a request to calculate the airflow rate or ventilation requirements for a poultry broiler house. In this context, "force" refers to the rate of air movement needed for proper ventilation, and "NFF tertification" is assumed to be a misspelling related to ventilation or airflow.
Step 1: Understand the purpose of ventilation.
Ventilation in a broiler house is essential for:
- Removing excess heat generated by the birds.
- Controlling humidity by removing moisture.
- Expelling harmful gases such as ammonia (NH3) and carbon dioxide (CO2).
- Supplying fresh oxygen to the birds.
Step 2: Calculate the required airflow rate (CFM).
The required airflow rate (measured in cubic feet per minute, CFM) varies depending on the birds' age and the outside temperature. There are typically two main ventilation calculations:
-
Minimum Ventilation: This is used during cold weather to remove moisture and gases without overcooling the house.
The calculation is often based on a specific CFM per bird:
MinimumAirflow(CFM)=NumberofBirds×CFMperBird
For example, a common guideline is 0.1 CFM/bird for young chicks, increasing to 0.25 CFM/bird for older birds.
-
Maximum Ventilation (Tunnel Ventilation): This is used during hot weather to provide significant cooling by creating high air speeds across the birds.
The calculation is based on the cross-sectional area of the house and the desired air speed:
MaximumAirflow(CFM)=HouseWidth(ft)×HouseHeight(ft)×DesiredAirSpeed(ft/min)
A typical desired air speed for tunnel ventilation is 400to600 feet per minute.
Example: For a house 40 ft wide and 8 ft high, with a desired air speed of 500 ft/min:
MaximumAirflow(CFM)=40ft×8ft×500ft/min=160,000CFM
The total "force" or capacity of the ventilation system (i.e., the fans) must be sufficient to provide these calculated airflow rates to maintain optimal conditions for the broilers.
The required airflow rate for a poultry broiler house is calculated using the following formulas:
- Minimum Ventilation:
Minimum Airflow (CFM) = Number of Birds \timesCFM per Bird
- Maximum Ventilation (Tunnel Ventilation):
Maximum Airflow (CFM) = House Width (ft) \timesHouse Height (ft) \timesDesired Air Speed (ft/min)
