** “With our full suite DACS solution, I believe we have amongst the best ventilation and heating combinations in the world and my birds are much healthier and grow stronger.
We grow 20+ million broilers per year using DACS as the backbone of our operations.
The savings in gas of approximately 40% and savings in bedding material and management costs means a total saving for each batch = 8 cents per chicken ”

Total saving for each batch = 8 cents per chicken
Michael Vukadinovic, owner of Pavilion Farms in Victoria, Australia, established two broiler farms in 2014. These were equipped with traditional side wall inlet ventilation systems and high end European on/off tunnel fans and climate controllers. In late 2017 another two farms were completed, but with variable speed MagFans. That was Michael’s first business contact with DACS. Today he has 9 farms – 64 sheds – all DACS. Michael and his son Nathan now grow 19 million birds per annum.
After completing the expansion in 2017, I traveled the world exploring the best ventilation technologies to find a better solution to the traditional side wall inlet ventilation system. Our criteria for a replacement system have been that it firstly, must improve the welfare and health of the birds, and secondly, meet my set payback and ROIC targets. In January 2019, I installed the DACS Corona Roof Inlet system in two sheds to trial them with regards to our set criteria outlined above.
The full suite of DACS equipment
After a year of testing, we were convinced that the DACS Corona Inlet system met our set criteria. In 2020, we retrofitted all our relatively new 28 sheds (capacity of 1.3 million broilers) with the Corona Inlet system and closed off the sidewall inlets.
In 2022, we completed the construction of a further 24 new sheds with an additional capacity of 1.6 million broilers where we have installed the full suite of DACS equipment including ACS climate and production controllers, MagFans, Corona Inlets and AddAir Water Heaters.
