Controlled housing built around humidity, power and input volatility
Commercial broiler and layer expansion works best when ventilation, generator duty and feed storage are planned together rather than bought as separate packages.
What decides the purchase
Very high wet-bulb restricts pad cooling, and interruptions to power, feed or chick supply can erase the benefit of higher automation.
Put this in the RFQ
State working air speed, inlet design, generator load, fuel autonomy, feed-storage days, drainage and the supplier’s local commissioning plan.
Direct answer
A 100,000-bird automated broiler project in Bangladesh needs about 4 houses of 25,000 birds (14 m × 132 m each, 7,407 m² total), roughly 2,375 t of feed per year, 35.5 m³ of water per peak day, and an indicative CAPEX of $1.10M – $1.90M. Design conditions used: 36 °C dry-bulb, 29 °C wet-bulb, 11 °C winter minimum.
— Very high wet-bulb — air speed and inlet control do the cooling work; pads add little.
— Grid interruptions require generator backup sized for full tunnel load.
— Feed and day-old chick cost volatility dominates ROI sensitivity.
Model the Bangladesh project scope
Where is the project located?
Country changes the climate design, cost index and equipment scope.
Indicative CAPEX is $1.10M – $1.90M for an automated closed-house project, about $11.0–$19.0 per bird including a 1.00 landed-cost index for Bangladesh. Land, permits, working capital and live birds are excluded. Class-4 estimate, ±30%.
About 4 houses of roughly 25,000 birds each, sized at 14 m × 132 m (1,852 m² per house, 7,407 m² total) at the density this climate supports.
With 36 °C dry-bulb against 29 °C wet-bulb, evaporative cooling delivers only a limited temperature drop. Air velocity over the birds, inlet control and litter moisture management carry most of the work.
About 2,375 tonnes of feed per year and 35.5 m³ of water per peak day including cooling demand. Feed storage should cover 5 days of peak consumption.
Grid reliability here is rated fair. Assume the farm runs on generator for a material share of the year and budget fuel accordingly; solar can offset lighting, pumps and controllers but never replaces backup power.
