Poultry Farming

Use renewable energy to reduce your running costs and generate an additional revenue stream for your farm whilst enhancing the welfare of your birds.

Our complete renewable energy solution for poultry farmers has been tried and tested on chicken sheds, turkey production units and pheasant sheds. Using equipment specifically manufactured for poultry sites, we work with poultry farmers to reduce their energy costs, improve their green credentials, de-stress the living environment for their birds and generate additional revenue from the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) and Feed-in Tariff (FiT). Returns on previous projects have been as high as 20%.

Through the use of multiple renewable energy technologies, we can guarantee you healthier, happier birds and lower running costs. We have also seen significant improvements with EPEF figures, with one crop exceeding target by 19.4%.

Benefits achieved through the use of renewable energy

• Dryer bedding through reduction in humidity
• Reduced huddling around heat sources with even heat distribution
• Lower bird stress levels through better lighting
• Instantaneous climate control (heating and cooling)
• Reduced energy costs
• Increased self-sufficiency with concurrent use of technologies
• Additional revenue through the Renewable Heat Incentive and Feed-in Tariff schemes
