• At the slaughter house, park the trucks under a cover and remove any canvas that may restrict ventilation.
• Good holding facilities at the slaughter house that provide the required ventilation and temperature control are essential for good bird welfare.
• Equip holding areas with lights, fans and foggers.
• Use foggers during periods of high temperatures if relative humidity is below 70%. In very hot weather, water can be sprayed into the fans to assist evaporation.
• In summer conditions make sure all fans and foggers are functional in the holding areas.
