Heating
Proper brooding temperatures are necessary for chicks to be healthy and to rapidly feather
Heating is a critical factor in broiler rearing. For optimal results, it is essential that broiler chicks have a source of heat and are kept consistently warm during the crucial first weeks. AFI offers a range of heating options for floor broilers to effectively warm the chicks and maintain a comfortable temperature in the building for optimal development and growth.

- Unique shape and reflective surfaces enhance transfer of infrared heat to the floor
- Spacious combustion chamber and highly effective burner enhance heater efficiency
- Pressurized burner results in even heat distribution through all burner ports
- Adjustable height optimizes floor coverage
- QuadRadiant heat requires less run time to heat a typical house
- Saves fuel by permitting zone control – heat only the areas where heat is needed
