Feeders as well as supplemental feeders are full of feed and the water lines set to the proper height.
Minimum ventilation fans are operating 30 seconds out of five minutes and the humidity is approximately 60%.
Both types of heating systems can, and have been, successfully used for decades to provide the supplemental heat during brooding, but that being said, they heat a house very differently.
Nothing makes this point more clearly than when the thermal image of the end equipped with forced air furnaces (Figure 3) is compared to the end heated by the radiant brooders (Figure 1).
Figure 4 is a histogram of floor temperatures on each end of the house.
On the end of the house with furnaces 72%, of the floor area was between 81oF and 84oF.
On the end with radiant brooders, 85% of the floor was between 90oF and 96oF.
