 Using free solar heat from the attic can not only help reduce fuel costs for brooding and growing but also help lower relative humidity and reduce litter moisture. Reducing fuel costs may be be the major advantage of using attic inlets, but the improvements in litter moisture and in-house conditions have been very significant in some of the houses that we have examined. Another major benefit is using attic heat for preheating prior to chick placement. See newsletter for more information.

Mission: Providing practical, up to date information on design and management of modern poultry environmental control systems and housing, useful to poultry producers, flock supervisors, and industry managers. Poultry housing, energy, ventilation, economics, and management problems are usually intertwined and very complex. In trying to find solutions to these major grower and industry problems, we at Auburn University have successfully used a teamwork approach for several years. The Auburn Poultry Housing Team collaborating in this work includes Jim Donald - Ag Engineer, Gene Simpson - Ag Economist, and Jesse Campbell - Advisor I, Natural Resources. Feel free to contact any team member if you have questions relating to their areas of expertise. Please note, however, that team members cannot provide design recommendations or diagnose specific problems through email.
