The rate of ventilation is determined by the temperature; however, when this parameter is reached a minimum ventilation level must be guaranteed. This minimum is normally calculated in m2\/body weight\/hour, but the real aim is the correct management of these parameters:<\/p><ul><li>Relative humidity<\/li><li>CO2 less than 5000 ppm<\/li><li>CO less than 50 ppm<\/li><li>NH3 less than 25 ppm<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2599508 elementor-widget__width-initial ha-has-bg-overlay elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"2599508\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"437\" src=\"https:\/\/hn-int.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/air_quality_house_environment_layers.webp\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-12669\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hn-int.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/air_quality_house_environment_layers.webp 768w, https:\/\/hn-int.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/air_quality_house_environment_layers-300x171.webp 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Table 30.

Hens can see ultraviolet and infrared light. This fact should be considered when creating light programs and choosing the light color. Hens need proper light with an adequate light intensity and the correct photoperiod. The best source of light for production is a high frequency (> 2,000 Hz) bulb emitting light within the warm color spectrum (2,500-3,500 K).\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8803575 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"8803575\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Low frequency fluorescent tubes or energy saving bulbs (50-100 Hz) have a strobe light effect on hens and encourage feather pecking and cannibalism. In addition, hens can see perfectly in a low light intensity environment. Light intensity will vary during the different production stages, but keep in mind that the higher the light intensity, the more active the hens will be. It can be positive (as in the case of brooding) or negative (as in the case of cannibalism during laying). In any case, light intensity variation during the day should be avoided as it can cause high stress levels in the hens. Direct sunlight should also be avoided for the same reason.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hen thermo-regulation Convection Heat loss occurs due to the movement of the air which permits the transfer of heat from the hen\u2019s body to the air.
