PT Ansell Jaya Indonesia
Overview
This video introduces the concept and benefits of closed-house broiler chicken farming systems, contrasting them with traditional open-house systems. It highlights how closed houses, through advanced ventilation, feeding, drinking, and climate control systems, create an optimal environment for chickens, reducing disease risk, improving growth, and increasing farmer efficiency. Key equipment discussed includes fans, cooling pads, automatic feeders and waterers, slatted flooring, heaters, and automated controllers, all contributing to a more controlled, productive, and sustainable farming operation.

Chapters
- Open-house systems offer good air circulation but make it difficult to control temperature and humidity.
- Extreme weather conditions (cold wind, heat, rain) can easily enter open houses, stressing chickens.
- Open structures allow pests and predators to enter, posing health risks.
- These factors lead to chicken stress, increasing susceptibility to disease and potentially lowering harvest yields.
Understanding the limitations of open-house systems highlights the need for more controlled environments to ensure chicken health and maximize farm productivity.
Chickens in an open house becoming more susceptible to disease due to sudden temperature drops from cold wind entering the structure.
- Closed-house systems are designed to be nearly fully enclosed, isolating chickens from external environmental fluctuations.
- This controlled environment allows chickens to grow optimally.
- Ventilation is crucial in closed houses for managing temperature, humidity, and air quality.
Closed houses provide a stable and predictable environment, which is essential for the health, well-being, and efficient growth of broiler chickens.
A closed house maintaining an optimal temperature for chickens, preventing the stress and illness associated with fluctuating external weather.
- Ventilation in closed houses removes excess heat, reduces humidity, minimizes dust, and eliminates toxic gases like ammonia.
- It also ensures an adequate supply of oxygen for the chickens.
- Fans are key components that provide fresh air, remove stale air and gases, and create airflow to cool the chickens.
- Cooling pads work with fans to lower the internal temperature by evaporating water, creating a cool mist.
Effective ventilation and cooling are vital for maintaining a comfortable and healthy atmosphere within the closed house, directly impacting chicken welfare and growth rates.
Using exhaust fans to pull air across water-soaked cooling pads, which then cools the air circulating through the chicken house.
- Automatic feeding systems use silos to store large amounts of feed, which is then distributed evenly to feeder pans.
- This ensures consistent and adequate nutrition for all chickens, preventing waste and promoting uniform growth.
- Nipple drinker systems provide chickens with continuous access to clean drinking water.
- These systems maintain water quality, prevent spillage, and reduce labor requirements.
Automated feeding and drinking systems ensure that chickens receive the right amount of nutrition and hydration consistently, which is critical for their growth and health while saving labor for the farmer.
A silo automatically dispensing feed into individual feeder pans, ensuring each chicken receives an equal portion.
- Slatted plastic flooring allows droppings to fall through, making cleaning easier and maintaining a drier environment.
- This design helps prevent the growth of bacteria and diseases.
- Heating systems, especially during the brooding phase, are essential for providing stable warmth to young chicks.
- Specialized heaters ensure chicks receive the necessary temperature for survival and development.
Maintaining a clean and appropriately warm environment through effective flooring and heating systems is crucial for preventing disease and ensuring the survival and healthy development of young chickens.
Using plastic slatted flooring that allows chicken waste to fall through, keeping the upper surface clean and dry.
- Automated controllers integrate and manage systems like temperature, humidity, and ventilation.
- This technology allows for easy monitoring and adjustment of the environment to keep chickens in optimal conditions.
- Closed-house systems reduce disease risk, provide extra security, and significantly increase productivity.
- They offer an efficient, sustainable, and environmentally friendly farming solution.
Integrated automated control systems optimize the entire closed-house environment, leading to healthier chickens, higher yields, and more sustainable and efficient farming practices.

Key takeaways
- Closed-house systems offer superior control over environmental factors like temperature and humidity compared to open-house systems.
- Effective ventilation is paramount in closed houses for removing heat, moisture, dust, and harmful gases while supplying oxygen.
- Automated feeding and drinking systems ensure consistent nutrient and water delivery, promoting uniform growth and reducing waste.
- Proper flooring and heating are essential for maintaining hygiene and providing a safe, warm environment, especially for young chicks.
- Integrated control systems allow for precise management of the chicken house environment, maximizing health and productivity.
- Transitioning to a closed-house system can significantly reduce disease risks and improve overall farm efficiency and sustainability.
