Curtains for Broiler

Instead of using colored curtains, white curtains for broiler houses are better because more light passes through. With more light inside the building, the birds are livelier, they eat more, drink more frequently and you'll save on electricity.

Curtains are important in controlling the internal environment of the building. It's most useful during brooding when the birds are provided with heat. In this province, the effective temperature could reach 15 degrees Celcius at night which could be disastrous during the first two weeks of grow. So curtains are in place and must be enough to hold in the heat from the heaters.
