Bedding in Poultry Farming- a key factor for health and efficiency
The quality of bedding in a poultry house directly impacts bird health, production efficiency, and final product quality. Proper structure and composition of bedding prevent bacteria and mold growth, reduce harmful gas emissions, and ensure optimal microclimate in the breeding facility.
What are the risks of improper bedding?
Poorly selected and improperly maintained bedding leads to:
Excessive humidity
Excessive moisture, which promotes hard crust formation and pathogen development.
Gas emissions
Increased emissions of ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, and carbon dioxide - irritating birds' mucous membranes, weakening immunity, and reducing carcass quality.
Bacterial infections
Bacterial infections (Salmonella, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus), increasing flock mortality and treatment costs.
Dermatological problems
Dermatological issues - foot ulcers and breast blisters inflammation.
Air pollution
Air pollution with dust that harms both birds and farm workers.

What bedding is used in poultry farming?
Bedding choice affects poultry health - see the differences.
Wood shavings
effective in absorbing moisture, but may contain contaminants and require mixing with other materials.
Sawdust
cheaper, but harder to maintain, limited moisture absorption.
Peat
absorbs moisture well, but is dusty and easily clumps into hard lumps.
Granulated bedding
modern solution providing better hygiene and lower gas emissions. Additionally, it provides more nutritional properties giving more benefits for welfare.
Wheat straw
popular, but requires frequent replacement, poorly neutralizes ammonia.
