A house for intensive broiler production. It is usually a simple closed building with natural or artificial light, thermally insulated and force ventilated. It may also be constructed with open side walls covered with mesh screens and located so that they are exposed to a natural stream of air. Additional ventilation fans may be fitted for use during hot weather. The birds are kept on litter e. g. chopped straw, wood shavings, shredded paper, spread over the entire floor area. Manure (broiler litter) is removed at the end of each growing period.
