Abstract: This study aimed at evaluating the live performance of turkeys during the initial stage of production (1-26 days of age) and to map the environmental variables inside turkey houses, such as temperature, relative humidity, CO 2 concentration, at two distinct minimum ventilation systems. House 1 (H1) was equipped with a negative-pressure ventilation system and House 2 (H2) was equipped with a positivepressure ventilation system. This study was performed in commercial poultry houses, located in Francisco Beltrão,… Show more

“…The role of ventilation type: Ventilation plays a key role in poultry production since it allows counter balancing negative effects of stocking density by improving air quality (Puron et al, 1995;Mendes et al, 2013a), allowing heat dissipation and removing excessive moisture. Keeping the litter dry and providing sufficiently oxygen to meet the birds' metabolic demand are highly important to improve animal welfare (Cordeiro et al, 2010;Amaral et al, 2011).…”

“…Skinner et al (2003) reported drowsiness as a parameter that adversely affected the broiler FCR. It was reported that due to the lack of activity reducing the bird's feed consumption and increasing in mortality rates deteriorates the feed efficiency (Mendes et al, 2013).…”

“…As already described in the Statement on AI (EFSA, ), turkey holdings may be at higher risk than chicken farms for AI introductions because of the constant need for introduction of clean bedding during the production cycle of turkeys and their high ventilation requirement (Mendes et al., ). The most critical point is the way bedding material is brought in.…”
