Ecological lining of agro industrial waste for poultry houses

The Brazilian poultry industry is one the activities relevant to the agribusiness, but the industry is faced with challenges such as heat stress, which is influenced by climate. The production of eco-lining is an alternative that adds value to waste and helps to solve the problem of thermal control in poultry houses. This research aimed to study thermal properties of an ecological liner low density particle-based on agribusiness residues (peanut hulls and coconut fiber) agglutinated with bi-component polyurethane resin based on castor oil and evaluate its performance when applied as lining in poultry houses. The results show that the material has the potential to be used as lining in poultry broiler.
