The objective of this work was to evaluate a system of minimal or hygienic ventilation and its influence on thermal comfort, air quality and broiler zootechnical performance of poultries raised during the winter. Two similar sheds were used, with 9,500 Cobb broiler chickens per shed, during a complete productive cycle. In one of the sheds, a positive ventilation system that met minimal need of air renovation, composed by three fans with flow of 300 m3/min, was installed on the ceiling […]
