Poultry house cleaning

Efficient poultry house management is critical for maintaining bird health and productivity. Traditional cleaning methods are often labor-intensive, time-consuming, and inconsistent. The deployment of a tractor-pulled cleaner using Broekema belted chain technology provides a solution that enhances cleanliness, reduces labor costs, and improves overall biosecurity. This case study examines the integration of a tractor-pulled cleaning system in a medium-sized poultry farm.

Challenges

The challenges faced included high labor costs and intensive manpower required for manual cleaning, inconsistent cleaning quality leading to potential disease outbreaks, downtime between cleaning cycles reducing overall productivity, and the exposure of workers to harsh chemicals and strenuous physical labor. The objective was to implement a tractor-pulled cleaning system using Broekema belted chain technology to reduce labor costs, ensure consistent cleaning quality, minimize downtime, and improve overall biosecurity.

Solution

The solution involved implementing a tractor-pulled cleaning system equipped with Broekema belted chain technology, specifically utilizing a sifter belt and a leveler belt. The sifter belt effectively separated debris and manure from the litter, while the leveler belt ensured even distribution and leveling of the cleaned litter. This dual-belt system enhanced cleaning efficiency, provided consistent quality, and reduced labor costs by minimizing the need for manual intervention. The robust design of the Broekema belts also minimized downtime and maintenance, thereby improving overall biosecurity and productivity in the poultry house.
