"The Van Zeeland family's barn concept is the answer to all the issues at hand."
20 years ago, Jan and Eric van Zeeland from Gemert were the first clients of Inno+. Together they developed an innovative house system for broilers. 20 years ago they were the first to have an air washer installed and already at that time reduced emissions. Eventually, through the cooperation with Inno+, the house system became even better than what Jan and Eric had originally envisioned. Their basic idea was already very strong. From this idea we only made it stronger by adding our knowledge and ideas. This has produced great results for 20 years for our client from the very beginning. “For example, the growth of the chicks is better, the feed conversion is lower, we have to use less medication and also the heating costs are considerably lower than the costs of a traditional house. I can only recommend it to everyone” says Eric van Zeeland.
The operation and benefits of the Terrasea system
- Heating, cooling and ventilation without drafts.
- Manageable and constant climate; the system captures peaks and valleys in the outdoor climate.
- Improved animal performance.
- Low maintenance air scrubber.
- Energy savings of 60% over conventional barn by using three free energy sources. Geothermal heat for cooling and heating; floor heat to raise incoming ventilation air to temperature; heat from the exhaust air is recovered through the air scrubber combined with the heat recovery system and reused.
- Production conditions animals completely in control.
- Only pre-conditioned air enters the house. This allows air to be introduced at animal level (cross ventilation) and the maximum necessary ventilation is low: 2.5 m3/chick per hour.
