    Building for broiler production

Big Dutchman recently built two new houses for broiler production for the company Spes 2016 S.L. in the Spanish province of Zaragoza. The turn-key buildings each have a size of 130 x 16 meters with an additional service room of 15 m2. At the beginning of June, 35,000 birds were moved into each barn. Big Dutchman Ibérica, the Spanish subsidiary of the German equipment supplier, was in charge of project planning and implementation.  

Poultry equipment for broiler production

Spes 2016 S.L. is a family-owned company run by married couple Francisco and Concha and their sons David and Rodrigo. Joining forces, the family rose to the challenges resulting from such a large-scale project. “The housing equipment meets the most recent standards in the market,” sales manager Jorge Camacho says about the result of this project. 

Examples: 

  • Poultry climate control | The house is ventilated with a CombiTunnel ventilation system; fresh air inlets in the side walls and central chimneys create minimum ventilation. In case of high temperatures, the system automatically switches to tunnel mode. Air then enters the house through a pad cooling system made of polypropylene. Fans in the gable wall ensure high air flow rates and thus the respective air speed.
  • Feed and water | The broilers are supplied with feed by an Augermatic feeding system consisting of four feed lines and 672 feed pans. Water is provided by ten drinker lines with a total of 2,520 nipples per building.

  • Heating | heaters with closed combustion chamber type JetMaster;
  • House lighting | ZEUS LED lamps with two shades of white, which can be controlled individually;
  • Poultry house management | The BigFarmNet management system allows poultry managers to control and monitor their houses remotely using the PC, smartphone and tablet.
