Livestock greenhouse

Livestock greenhouse

Greenhouse livestock farming, also known as warm-shed farming, is a technique that regulates the environment of livestock and poultry enclosures using plastic film coverings. By utilizing solar energy and the animals’ own heat, it raises the temperature inside the shed, reducing energy consumption while optimizing production efficiency. This technology is primarily applied during cold seasons and is suitable for large-scale farming of broiler chickens, ducks, cattle, fish, shrimp, and other livestock. Key management aspects include breed selection, feed formulation, temperature and humidity control, and disease prevention and control.

Structural Advantages

Warm-shed livestock farming is an advanced, mature, and practical technology that achieves comparable results to fully enclosed livestock housing with relatively lower investment. It can reduce mortality rates by 2.7%–13.5%, increase meat (or egg) yield by 12%–25%, and save over 11% in feed consumption. This approach also facilitates the promotion of superior breeds and new technologies, supports moderate-scale farming development, and ensures a balanced supply of livestock products, making it an important technology for high-yield, high-quality animal husbandry. Greenhouse livestock farming can be applied to a wide range of animals, including broiler chickens, ducks, cattle, geese, fish, shrimp, and eels. Its key advantage lies in mitigating environmental impacts on animal growth, enabling faster development while maintaining quality. From an economic perspective, greenhouse livestock farming can significantly enhance profitability. Fundamentally, it provides optimal temperature, humidity, lighting, water supply, and environmental hygiene to ensure healthy and efficient livestock production.

Name
Parameter
Span
6-18 Meters
* The span of a greenhouse refers to its width, typically measured as the horizontal distance between the supporting columns. The span directly affects the structural stability, usable space, and crop layout within the greenhouse.
Bay width
3-6 Meters
* The bay width of a greenhouse refers to the horizontal distance between two rows of internal columns and is typically used in the structural layout of the greenhouse. It is an important parameter that affects the internal space, load-bearing capacity, airflow, crop growth area, and overall greenhouse design.
Rafter spacing
1-3 Meters
* Rafter spacing in a greenhouse refers to the horizontal distance between adjacent rafters (support frames), typically measured along the span direction of the greenhouse. This spacing is a critical design parameter, as it directly affects structural stability, load-bearing capacity, air circulation, and the efficiency of light distribution and space utilization within the greenhouse.
Column spacing
3-4 Meters
* Column spacing in a greenhouse refers to the horizontal distance between adjacent support columns in the greenhouse structure. The columns serve as vertical supports for the greenhouse framework, bearing loads from covering materials, equipment, as well as external forces such as wind and snow, thereby ensuring the structural stability of the greenhouse.
Eave height
3-6 Meters
* The eave height of a greenhouse refers to the height of the side walls, typically measured as the vertical distance from the ground to the top of the structural columns or supports. Eave height is usually located below the ridge of the greenhouse roof and differs from the total roof height. It primarily determines the headroom within the greenhouse, influencing critical factors such as crop growing conditions and airflow.
Ridge height
4.5-8 Meters
* The ridge height of a greenhouse refers to the vertical distance from the ground to the top of the greenhouse, typically the highest point of the roof or arched structure. It is a key parameter in greenhouse design, directly affecting crop growing conditions, space utilization, airflow, and temperature control within the greenhouse.
Frame material
Plastic-coated galvanized steel pipe (material and zinc coating thickness customizable)
Covering materials
Triple-layer covering: black-and-white film + thermal insulation blanket + inner film
Ventilation
Side and roof vents (automatic/manual)
Application scenarios
Cattle, sheep, chickens, ducks, pigs, seafood, and more
Wind and snow load
Highly suitable for cold climates and harsh environments
