Abstract
Poultry breeding is one of the most significant components of agriculture and an essential link of material exchange between humans and nature. Moreover, poultry breeding technology has a considerable impact on the life quality of human beings, and could even influence the survival of human beings. As one of the most popular poultry, broiler has a good economic benefit due to its excellent taste and fast growing cycle. This paper aims to improve the efficiency of raising broilers by understanding the impact of ammonia concentration distribution within a smart broiler breeding chamber, and the rationality of the system’s design. More specifically, we used computational fluid dynamics (CFD) technology to simulate the process of ammonia production and identify the characteristics of ammonia concentration. Based on the simulation results, the structure of the broiler chamber was reformed, and the ammonia uniformity was significantly improved after the structural modification of the broiler chamber and the ammonia concentration in the chamber had remained extremely low. In general, this study provides a reference for structural optimization of the design of broiler chambers and the environmental regulation of ammonia.
