Optimization of Surface Wetting to Cool Broiler Chickens

Abstract: Surface wetting to cool broiler chickens (46±3 d, 2.8± 0.1 kg) was investigated under 18 acute thermal conditions formed by three dry-bulb temperatures (tdb, 35, 38, and 41 oC) × two dew-point temperatures (tdp,19.4 and 26.1oC) × three air velocity (V, 0.2, 0.7 and 1.2 m •s-1). The synergistic effects of tdb and tdp were expressed in terms of vapor pressure deficit of the air (VPDair). Surface temperature of the cooled birds was 1.9-2.5 oC lower than that of their control counterparts. Core body temperature (t… Show more
