Ventilation types
There are several types of ventilation systems, including longitudinal, tunnel, and cross ventilation. Each type has a different configuration of fans and inlets.Ventilation balance

Exhaust fans create a negative pressure difference between the inside and outside of the house. This pulls air into the house through any openings.Ventilation capacity
The maximum ventilation capacity in poultry houses has increased in recent years.Ventilation control
Fans can be controlled by pressure or a thermostat and timer.Curtains
Curtains can be used to open and close ventilation.Ventilation measuring and control
