In a negative pressure-ventilated poultry house, the amount of air entering through each side wall inlet depends primarily on the level of negative pressure generated by the house exhaust fans, the size of the inlet opening, and the air inlet design. The higher the static pressure, the faster the air will enter the house and the greater the amount of air that will enter through an inlet. Not surpr ...

It is well known that the higher the static pressure, the faster the air will enter through an air inlet and therefore the greater the amount of air which will enter through the inlet. But how precisely does velocity change with pressure and similarly how does the amount of air entering through an inlet change with static pressure? To answer these questions, the performance of typical 44" X 7" (42 ...

You are frying eggs for breakfast. You get distracted and the next thing you know your eggs are burning and your kitchen is filling with smoke. What do you do first? Open the window to get rid of the smoke or remove the skillet from the stove to stop the generation of the smoke?

Daily water consumption has been used as a management tool by poultry producers for decades. Since water consumption is closely correlated to feed consumption, decreases in daily water consumption are often an indicator of reduced feed consumption and/or health issue. With the emergence of ultrasonic water meters bird water usage can now be more accurately monitored on a minute-to-minute basis thu ...
