Steel Frame Modular Systems | Large-scale poultry farms, commercial operations | - Steel frame (EN10204 certified, ▲235 MPa yield strength) - Curtain walls (43 dBA noise reduction) - CE certified climate control | ▲ Base: 235 MPa steel, 43 dBA noise reduction Advanced: 250 MPa steel, ▲45 dBA (quieter than a whisper) | Higher upfront cost; requires skilled installation |
Traditional Wooden Barns | Small-to-medium farms, budget-conscious setups | - Timber frame (ASTM D2456, 10 GPa modulus of elasticity) - Natural ventilation (no mechanical systems) | Low cost, familiar construction ▲ Wood absorbs humidity (ideal for tropical climates) | High maintenance, pest susceptibility Limited scalability |
Prefabricated Plastic Panels | Temporary shelters, seasonal operations | - UV-resistant plastic (ASTM D4329, ▲8000+ hours resistance) - Lightweight (25 kg/m²) | Easy assembly, portable ▲ Resists corrosion (ideal for coastal areas) | Poor insulation (not suited for extreme temps) Short lifespan (<5 years) |
Open-Air Sheds | Free-range farming, hot climates | - Minimal walls, open-roof design (no structural cladding) - Natural airflow (no energy costs) | Cost-effective, promotes airflow ▲ Reduces heat stress in poultry | No climate control Vulnerable to predators/weather |
High-Tech Climate-Controlled Units | Precision poultry farming, sensitive breeds | - Automated HVAC (±1°C temp control) - ▲ Advanced sensors (CO₂, humidity monitoring) - ISO 14001 eco-certification | Optimal environment for productivity ▲ Reduces disease risk by 40% | High installation/maintenance costs Requires constant power supply |
Portable Chicken Coops | Backyard farms, rotating pastures | - Collapsible design (<100 kg) - ▲ Reinforced wheels (250 kg load capacity) - Compact storage (0.5m³ folded) | Mobility for pasture rotation ▲ Weatherproof fabric (IPX4 rating) | Limited capacity (max 50 birds) Not suitable for harsh winters |
