DETALHES do GALPÃO que fazem a DIFERENÇA

One of the fundamental points for the success of egg production in free-range systems is the adequate infrastructure for raising the birds. The construction of the shed requires essential technical adaptations to mitigate possible problems associated with the environment, health, management, animal welfare, among others. In this context, some construction details make a difference, such as: 1) Curved corners of the shed: in nature, birds are prey and in production systems they behave as such. They are constantly seeking refuge from “potential predators”, and with this behavior they end up gathering in the corners, leading to high mortality rates due to crushing. Curved corners confuse the birds and prevent severe crowding. 2) Sliding door: it is important to give preference to doors that open outwards or laterally. This avoids possible stress factors when pushing the birds when entering the shed. 3) 1-meter eaves: The eaves have a fundamental function, related to controlling the entry of rain. Wider eaves tend to better protect the inside of the shed. 4) Sidewalk around the shed: Building a sidewalk around the shed improves the hygienic and sanitary conditions of the internal environment, avoids problems related to construction and animal welfare.
