Tunnel Ventilation House Benefits
Animal Welfare:
The introduction of state of the art environmentally controlled tunnel houses by Arawak in the early 2000’s, has significantly improved the rearing conditions of our livestock. This contributes to our overall compliance with the International Animal Welfare standards.
Additionally, this technology helps align Arawak with International Best Practice for Animal Welfare via:
• The ability to control temperature and humidity for greater bird comfort.
• The birds are subject to significantly lower levels of dust and odours,
especially harmful gases such as ammonia and carbon dioxide.
• The continuous air flow and air exchange within the pen, allows for an
enhanced supply of oxygen
Farming:
Our poultry farmers benefit from the implementation of this tunnel house technology, as they experience:
• An increased number of batches per year due to a quicker turnaround time.
• A greater production capacity.
• Improved KPIs that enables their incomes to be positively impacted.
