PULLET BARNS

AgSealants, developed by Sealant Technology offer great wall sealant protection for pullet barns because the create an air barrier on the walls that have a hard shell it will adhere to almost any surface. In many cases, old walls built from plywood or OSB, can be sealed and made cleanable. This can greatly reduce any samonella that could be found on the walls due to the moisture that can build up on old wood.

How pullet houses are best designed and equipped depends on the production requirements for the particular bird, complex, and breeder program that is being followed. Looking at the industry at large, it can be seen that there are many variations in how people want their houses to be: Some breeder programs require total dark out, while others do not insist on strict darkness.

Some pullet programs choose to have the desired windspeed in tunnel ventilation at about 300 fpm, while other breeder programs call for a wind speed of 500 fpm. This may vary according to the location of the facility and/ or the size bird that will be grown. Some pullet programs operate with pad-style evaporative cooling, either 6" recirculating or spray-on, while others use in-house foggers. Other houses, especially in cooler locations, omit cooling entirely. Retrofitting older pullet houses to provide light restriction with adequate ventilation introduces other variations, depending on the exsisting house construction and style. Often in retrofit we are not able to use technology that is absolutely the best, but must choose equipment that will be cost- effective and feasible for the particular older- house situation.
