Cumberland Slatted Floor

from structure heating ventilation automated feeding to feed storage and delivery systems significant innovations in poultry technology have made the industry more efficient and productive while providing safer products for consumers in just a few years plastic slanted floors have set a new standard in poultry farming especially in this Asia region how does a slatted floor benefit your farm here are the top 10 facts on the innovation of a Cumberland plastic slatted floor number 10 a cutting-edge design cumberland has pioneered the manufacturing and usage of plastics later'd flaws in a closed house system since 2009 the high quality material uses high-impact wear resistant polypropylene plastic for durability it's definitely not just any ordinary flooring it's an innovation that has gone through hundreds of hours of research and development field application tests and constructive feedback from farmers a series of tests including load tests dynamic tests and strength tests ensure that it can hold at least 120 kilograms or 265 pounds of standing or walking body weight the interlock design system is precision cut on all four sides so that the slats can fit securely on the support frames this is a key feature as the slats remain in locked position to support any activity the birds can walk comfortably on the slanted floor without risk of injury allowing the workers to perform their jobs safely - here we're talking intense activities for the whole farm on a day-to-day basis for years and years number nine a clean and dry farm a clean and dry floor provides a great environment for birds one of the key properties of a plastic slab is to be non water absorbent as the birds live on the surface of a non-abrasive slatted floor they do not have direct contact with manure therefore are healthier plastic slats minimize the risk of common infections like respiratory disease parasitic infections breast blisters and foot pad dermatitis healthy birds lead to healthy profits moreover the design of the elevated structure and slatted floor makes cleaning and disinfecting a fast and easy process number eight corrosion-free and rot proof the flow is always dry because droppings are separated from the slatted floor the rot proof solid plastic material is corrosive free and does not hide contaminants or Harbor bacterial growth while the floor support trusses and beams are treated for excellent corrosion resistance records show that this rupture is as good as new after five years of full round production number seven minimum maintenance the combination of clean dry and rot proof features together with Cumberlands positive closed house structure contribute to minimum maintenance through our production cycles number six minimizing harmful gas and dust a dry house force significantly decreases the accumulation of harmful gases such as ammonia and carbon dioxide great news for the birds and the farmers the house has less accumulated dust compared to a deep litter floor number five great ventilation ventilation on the slatted floor area provides evenly distributed air movement across the slats to provide a comfortable ambiance for the birds ventilation below the slatted floor removes these harmful gases from the house so in an elevated slanted floor the surroundings are cooler due to the large availability of air volume ventilating around the whole structure furthermore other parts of the structural design promote natural ventilation the drop ceiling provides free additional r34 thermal effect the roof and attic vents prevent heat and moisture accumulation number four cooler environment and energy savings great ventilation makes temperature control easy for a tropical farm the Cumberland slatted floor solution is able to maintain the desired temperature consistently for the broiler house besides that the insulation solution used in the whole structure such as the design of an airtight house with side walls of all three tiers exterior wall sheathing fiberglass wall and plastic sheets with UV stabilizer contribute to a cooler environment overall the running time for fans reduced by at least 10% to 15% a cool environment in a tropical farm translates to great energy savings number three cost effective let's look at some of the obvious cost savings number one minimum maintenance cost throughout production cycles number two fast and easy cleaning and disinfecting reduces utility costs number three no bedding cost because a slatted floor is installed once and for all permanently it is suitable for all stages of bird growth and savings per house is a minimum of eight thousand US dollars on wood shavings payer number four the above factors all contribute to lower labor costs number five a cooler environment reduces fan runtime for energy savings by a minimum of 10% to 15% number six savings on average of us 3 cent per bird on vaccinations and vitamins with the potential to save the equivalent of nine thousand US dollars per flock as a result of healthier birds savings are a great advantage you can earn as much as 330 US dollars per flock or 1980 u.s. dollars fear from in your collection on a six cycle production while the initial investments of a slatted house may be higher than an equivalent deep litter floor the return on investment justifies every sin step number two a proven solution in fact the slanted floor concept is not new the slatted floor solution offers adjustable high load hands according to the requirements of different stages of growth and contribute to efficient farm operations slatted floor effectiveness has been proven since 2009 and it's already adopted in many successful modern farms around Asia number one better FCR and growth rate a slatted house offers advantages in increased levels of biosecurity resulting in better feed conversion rates which leads to greater growth and faster times to market harvesting compared to wooden slats and deep litter the improvement on flock livability is at least 2% to 3% that is over six thousand US dollars more profit per house per flock or over thirty six thousand US dollars per annum per house in
