Southwestern Sales Co: Solarbrood Sunshine is the only ask from this innovative heating solution from US poultry equipment outfit the Southwestern Sales Co. It takes heat from the sun and continuously warms fresh air above the surface of a transpired non-conductive absorber. This warmth is then drawn into poultry sheds by negative pressure, complimenting more conventional heating systems with heated, fresh air. According to the manufacturer, transpired solar collectors are one of the most efficient ways to convert natural resources into usable thermal energy, being 80% efficient, compared with 15% for PV solar or 30% for wind.
Solarbrood warms air using the sun’s energy producing a cost effective copmliment to heating systems.
Kunifan pest control The Trichogramma wasp, according to pest control outfit Kunifan is one of the smallest of insects, but packs a power- ful punch. It is an efficient predator of pests in their larval stage and just one of the bugs on offer from the firm that specialises in non-chemical insect control. For about $25, plus shipping, the firm will post a consign- ment of nearly hatched bugs to a farm where all the stock- man needs to do is leave the opened package close to the fly problem. The wasps, or other species depending on the problem, will predate on the pests and disrupt their life cycle, suppressing populations.
Kunafin can post packages of ready-
to-hatch predator insects that can con- trol fly populations on poultry farms.
Monoflo Boot Cleaner Equipment manufacturer Monoflo showcased this boot cleaner that could offer an effective alternative to foot dips. The boot cleaner features a stainless-steel frame, and con- nects directly to a water source. This creates a vacuum which can draw disinfectant from a separate line into the brushes which then not only rinse footwear but scrape away debris stuck to the surface.
The Monoflo boot cleaner both brushes boots and sprays diluted disinfectant over their surface.
