How to read this result
Based on: House length 120 m · House width 15 m · Usable floor share 95 % · Max stocking density 39 kg/m² · Target live weight 2.4 kg
Important: This is a preliminary planning result derived from the values you entered, intended for early project scoping and RFQ preparation — not for final engineering or husbandry design.
- Bird type and production model (broiler, layer, breeder)
- The stocking assumption used, and the welfare standard or local regulation behind it
- House geometry — width, length, sidewall height and usable versus gross floor area

What does this poultry calculator estimate?
It estimates preliminary poultry-house requirements — floor area, workable dimensions and indicative capacity — from bird type, target bird numbers and the stocking assumption you supply. It is intended for early project planning and RFQ preparation for broiler, layer and breeder houses, and is not a final engineering, welfare or husbandry design.
What can change the result?
- Bird type and production model (broiler, layer, breeder)
- The stocking assumption used, and the welfare standard or local regulation behind it
- House geometry — width, length, sidewall height and usable versus gross floor area
- Climate and what the ventilation system can actually sustain on the worst design day
- Equipment layout, service areas and internal circulation
- Bird count is not a complete poultry-house specification.
- Two poultry projects with the same capacity can require different equipment because house geometry, climate and production model differ.
