Extreme-heat poultry capacity with independent power and service planning
The viable project is a closed-house system designed around extreme peak heat, long generator hours and a realistic plan for installation support and spare parts.
What decides the purchase
At extreme design temperatures, optimistic fan or pad assumptions and unclear responsibility at commissioning create direct flock risk.
Put this in the RFQ
Require heat-balance calculations, fan output at working pressure, pad area and water use, generator autonomy, critical spares and named commissioning support.
Direct answer
A 100,000-bird automated broiler project in Iraq needs about 4 houses of 25,000 birds (14 m × 123 m each, 6,897 m² total), roughly 2,375 t of feed per year, 92.7 m³ of water per peak day, and an indicative CAPEX of $1.38M – $2.38M. Design conditions used: 48 °C dry-bulb, 22 °C wet-bulb, 3 °C winter minimum.
— Design dry-bulb near 48 °C makes cooling capacity and pad sizing the governing decision.
— Assume long generator running hours; fuel dominates OPEX.
— Logistics and installation supervision materially affect landed project cost.
Model the Iraq project scope
Where is the project located?
Country changes the climate design, cost index and equipment scope.
Indicative CAPEX is $1.38M – $2.38M for an automated closed-house project, about $13.8–$23.8 per bird including a 1.25 landed-cost index for Iraq. 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 × 123 m (1,724 m² per house, 6,897 m² total) at the density this climate supports.
Low humidity (48 °C dry-bulb, 22 °C wet-bulb) makes evaporative cooling highly effective — 15 cm pads sized correctly are usually the single most valuable climate investment.
About 2,375 tonnes of feed per year and 92.7 m³ of water per peak day including cooling demand. Feed storage should cover 7 days of peak consumption.
Grid reliability here is rated poor. 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.
