ANIMAL HOUSING

摘要

The invention relates to an animal housing (1) provided with a number of (13) coops placed at different levels, means for generating and guiding an airflow through the coops and means for regulating the temperature of the airflow. The airflow generating and guiding means can herein be adapted to guide the airflow in horizontal direction through the coops, whereby a high flow rate and a good control of the airflow is achieved. The airflow generating and guiding means can comprise a controllable flap (7, 17) at a determined level for each coop or each group of coops, which flap can be placed upstream or downstream of the coop or coops. The coops can further be disposed in rows, wherein passageways are defined between each of the rows, at least some of which function as air channel. In the animal housing according to the invention the temperature control means can also comprise one or more radiating elements (21) placed in the path of the airflow, for instance at least one radiating element for each level of the coops in the form of heat exchangers through which a liquid flows. The temperature can hereby be regulated practically per coop.
