Características dos sistemas de produção de frangos de corte nos países destaques mundiais no setor

Due to the climatic conditions of Brazil, the production of broilers is practically in its entirety carried out in open facilities with natural ventilation system and depending on the region hybrid type installations are used that work open or closed depending on the need of thermal conditioning. The animals are raised on the bed that are reused for several cycles. In temperate regions such as the countries of Europe and the United States, facilities are predominantly open with mechanized ventilation systems that operate 24 hours a day and require a considerable amount of energy compared to the systems used in Brazil. Animals are usually raised on heated floors and some regions adopt bedding materials available on the spot. In the United States beds are reused many times and even more than in Brazil while in Europe a new bed is used every production cycle. In China that also stands out in the world production of chicken meat the biggest problem is related to the unavailability of physical space for the facilities. Therefore, the breeding systems are totally different and the final cost of the product is high in relation to Brazilian chicken meat.
