Efficient and reliable heating of poultry farms using wood biomass

Lower heating costs and better conditions for poultry farming

Heating poultry farms is one of the biggest expenses in poultry farming. Many farms still rely on gas or heating oil for heating, which results in high and unpredictable costs, while many systems are already outdated and unreliable. In such conditions, a stable temperature is crucial—any deviation quickly affects health, growth, and feed conversion.

Solution: Wood-fired hot-air heaters

Razvoj d.o.o., based in Mali Braslovče, develops and manufactures wood-fired hot-air heaters specifically designed for heating poultry farms. In recent years, we have equipped numerous farms that have switched from gas or heating oil to wood chip heating—primarily due to lower heating costs and the system’s reliable operation.

Poultry farmers working with Slovenian and international farming systems report very positive experiences, and their feedback is an important part of the further development of our solutions.

A sustainable and cost-effective solution
for modern farms

Heating with wood biomass means:

significantly lower heating costs

the use of renewable energy sources

reducing the carbon footprint

greater energy independence for the farm

Advantages of Warm-Air Heating for Poultry Farms

Warm-air heaters offer a number of advantages that directly improve poultry welfare and the economics of poultry farming:

Even distribution of warm air throughout the entire farm

Poultry do not congregate in one place and do not expend energy to warm their bodies

Better feed conversion and higher weight gain in the same rearing period

Fewer diseases and infections, as the litter-covered floor remains dry

Lower costs associated with mortality and veterinary interventions

The inflow of dry, warm air into the living area creates optimal microclimatic conditions for raising chickens and turkeys.

Technical Advantages of Heaters Development

The heaters are flexible and can be integrated into existing facilities

The system contains no water, so there is no risk of freezing during periods when the farm is inactive

Precise temperature control (to within 1 °C) without fluctuations

Fully automatic operation, with the option of a standalone or backup system

Reliable operation even during the most sensitive phases of rearing
