Recent advances in filtered-air positive-pressure (FAPP) housing for the production of disease-free chickens

B W Mitchell et al. Avian Dis. 1989 Oct-Dec.

Abstract

Design and performance information on a filtered-air positive-pressure (FAPP) housing system for disease-free poultry flocks is presented. The system includes many special features that result in excellent biological security, easy cleanup and maintenance, efficient control of environment, and a centralized alarm in the event of problems. The system has now housed eight flocks without any major problems. Based on its performance thus far, it should be useful as a reliable housing system for disease-free poultry.
