The Definitive Guide to High Poultry Productivity
Did you know that choosing the wrong roofing can compromise up to 30% of your poultry house productivity? In this comprehensive guide, Cikala reveals how specialized technical roofing is the key to more efficient, economical poultry houses with better animal welfare. Discover how to transform this structural element into your greatest ally against weather events, thermal stress, and production losses.
The Strategic Role of Roofing in Modern Poultry Farming
In contemporary poultry farming, every detail operates as a fundamental piece in the productivity efficiency puzzle. Poultry house roofing has evolved from mere protection against weather events to high-tech environmental control systems, playing a crucial role in ensuring bird quality of life and productivity.
Relevant Technical Data: Embrapa studies show that adequate thermal control in poultry houses can increase weight gain by up to 25% and reduce bird mortality by 30%.
These specialized roofing systems function as an intelligent barrier that:
- Maintains ideal temperature inside the poultry house in all seasons
- Protects against rain, strong winds, and hail
- Controls natural light entry according to bird needs
- Allows adequate ventilation for air renewal
- Provides acoustic insulation reducing animal stress

Advantages of Using Proper Roofing in Poultry Production
Investing in high-quality poultry house roofing is not an expense, but rather an investment with guaranteed return. Check out the main benefits:
- Efficient Thermal Control: Maintains ideal temperature inside the poultry house, reducing bird thermal stress that can compromise weight gain and feed conversion.
- Protection Against Weather Events: Blocks rain, strong winds and hail, protecting birds and poultry house structure.
- Cost Reduction: Significant savings on artificial ventilation, heating and medications, as birds remain healthier.
- Higher Productivity: Adequate environment results in healthier birds, better feed conversion and higher weight gain.
- Animal Welfare: Thermal, acoustic and environmental comfort that meets animal welfare requirements and production standards.
Practical Usage Examples in Different Types of Poultry Houses
The application of specialized poultry house roofing is vast and crucial in different production systems:
- Broiler Houses: Precise temperature and ventilation control to maximize weight gain and feed conversion. Roofing with thermal insulation to reduce climate control costs.
- Layer Houses: Light control to stimulate laying and maintain egg quality. Systems that allow adequate ventilation to maintain air quality.
- Breeder Houses: Controlled environment to guarantee flock fertility and productivity. Roofing that allows precise control of environmental conditions.
- Poultry Houses in Hot Climates: Roofing with high solar reflectivity to reduce internal temperature. Natural ventilation systems integrated with roofing.
- Poultry Houses in Cold Climates: Roofing with high thermal insulation to retain internal heat and reduce heating costs.
Success Case: On a farm in western Paraná, installation of thermoacoustic roofing from Poultry Farming Solutions resulted in a 22% reduction in ventilation energy consumption and an 18% increase in chicken weight gain.

Frequently Asked Questions about Poultry House Roofing
1. Do all roofing types work for poultry houses?
No. Conventional roofing does not meet the specific requirements of a poultry house. For this use, roofing with thermoacoustic properties, resistance to corrosive environments, and designs that allow adequate ventilation are necessary.
2. What is the main function of roofing in a poultry house?
The roofing acts as an environmental control system, protecting birds against weather events, controlling internal temperature, allowing adequate ventilation, and regulating natural light entry according to bird needs.
3. Do specialized roofing systems really help save money?
Yes! By providing better thermal control, proper roofing drastically reduces costs with artificial ventilation and heating, in addition to improving production indices, resulting in lower cost per kilogram produced.
4. What is the most recommended material for poultry house roofing?
The most efficient and versatile option is CIKALA's Roofing Tarp, developed especially for poultry environments. Produced in high-resistance material, with UV treatment and waterproof, the tarp guarantees protection against sun, rain and winds, in addition to contributing to maintaining the internal temperature of the poultry house.
5. How long does poultry house roofing last?
It depends on the chosen material and environmental conditions. Quality roofing like Cikala's can last more than 3 years when properly installed and with recommended preventive maintenance.
