It is possible that a poultry farmer decides to produce feed using the inputs purchased in the poultry unit itself or buy ready feed (complete feed) from reliable collections and only use the feed transfer system to the hall and feeders in Use the hall.

Drinkers

It is clear to everyone that one of the primary and basic needs of farmed poultry includes easy access to fresh and clean water. It is recommended that there should be easy access to drinking water for indoor poultry, considering the creation of minimum wetness, and that indoor poultry can easily take the water they need from the drinker with their beaks. This matter is of great importance to maintain suitable conditions for the health and life of poultry in their rearing environment and especially their bedding. According to this issue, different types of drinking fountains and manual or automatic drinking systems are available.

Another important point is the health and safety of drinking water, which must be provided in drinking water systems. Today, things like the accumulation of microbial colonies in the channels of drinking systems are among the main concerns of poultry farmers; Also, ease of delivery of poultry medicines and drinking supplements through drinking systems can be another important advantage for these systems. For example, organic acids and some types of probiotics or prebiotics can be added to drinking water to improve the function and health of the digestive system.

Heating and cooling systems

As mentioned before in other articles, especially for one-day-old and young chickens, regardless of the type of breeding system they are kept in, the appropriate temperature in the environment should be maintained. Cultivation should be created before they enter the hall; Therefore, the heating system, especially in cold climates and cold seasons of the year, should be considered with a sufficient degree of confidence in its operation and creating a suitable temperature from the surface of the bed to the space above the poultry's head. This system complements a suitable building with proper ventilation and insulation conditions to create a uniform and controllable temperature in the hall with minimal energy consumption.

To achieve these goals, heating systems Different types can be used according to the budget and access to facilities and of course the most available energy sources in each region. For example, in Iran due to more access to fossil fuels and especially natural gas, heaters and gas heating systems and then other fossil fuels are considered more. Also, artificial mother devices and other local heating heaters can be used for young chicks who are unable to maintain their body temperature and do not benefit from their mother's heating support.
