Ajmer is a very hot and dry place, especially in summer. This makes it difficult for poultry farms to keep the inside area cool. At Star Poultry Farm, the problem became serious. The roof stayed under direct sunlight all day, which made it very hot. This heat slowly entered the sheds and increased the temperature inside, making it uncomfortable for the poultry.
The rising temperature started causing problems inside the poultry farm. Keeping the right temperature is very important for the birds, and too much heat can affect their health, eating habits, and growth. To control the heat, fans and ventilation had to run all the time. This led to higher electricity bills and increased running costs.
To solve these problems, Indian Insulation & Engineering Company used a Coolroof ® – SRI – 122. COOLROOF® Heat Reflective Paint (SRI 122) is a powerful solution to keep poultry sheds cooler during hot summer days. It reflects sunlight and reduces heat inside the shed, making the environment more comfortable for the birds. This helps lower heat stress and improves the overall health and hygiene of the poultry.
The Challenge: Heat Stress in Poultry Operations
Poultry farms are very affected by heat, especially in hot places like Rajasthan. At Star Poultry Farm, the roof was getting too hot, which made the inside temperature rise. This made the birds uncomfortable and affected their growth and health. The farm also noticed a large number of deaths of livestock due to high temperatures. Because of the heat, the farm had to use more cooling systems, which increased electricity costs.
The Solution: High SRI Cool Roof Coating
After checking the site, a suitable cool roof coating – Coolroof ®, was suggested by Indian Insulation & Engineering Company. Three layers of coating were applied to get better heat reflection and long-lasting results. The work on the entire 50,000 sq. ft. area was completed in just 7 days without disturbing regular operations. Multiple coats were used to make sure the coating performs well and lasts longer.
The Results: Improved Environment & Efficiency
- The roof became much cooler
- The inside of the building felt more comfortable
- The chickens stayed cooler and healthier, which helped improve their growth
- Less need for cooling systems, which helped save on electricity bills
Final Words
This project shows that cool roof coatings are a simple and affordable solution for large farms. By reducing heat and keeping the inside cooler, Star Poultry Farm was able to create a better environment and run operations more smoothly. It also helped save energy, making the farm more efficient and eco-friendly. This highlights how useful cool roof solutions are in hot weather conditions.
