Poultry

A reliable power supply is essential to all businesses. But when you’re a game rearer or poultry farmer, it can be a matter of life and death.

At Calor we understand this. Healthy birds thrive on consistent levels of heat and sheds heated to the optimum temperature can influence feeding, sleeping and feathering.

So what makes Calor LPG the healthiest fuel for both game and poultry birds?

For a start, LPG mixes easily with air in a purpose designed and properly maintained burner, so it burns more efficiently and cleanly. Fuel is not wasted through incomplete combustion, so there is little danger of contaminated feeds or litter. Instead, LPG produces the moist heat that promotes rapid and even feathering, increasing weight gain.

Given the fact that so much is at stake, you won’t be surprised to learn that we put all our energy – as the UK’s No.1 supplier of LPG - into providing a secure supply of heat and a level of technical support that is second to none.

British Quality Chicken aims to encourage the UK shopper to buy British chicken for the best standards of quality and freshness.

Calor is proud to participate in this initiative and to play its part in promoting the quality and production standards of British Quality Chicken.

Chicken carrying the recognised British Farm Standard logo has been produced to stringent standards certified under the Assured Chicken Production scheme. Farmers care for their birds under the Five Freedoms code and are regularly inspected to ensure the highest standard of welfare.

With Calor LPG you can be confident that piglets and weaners are safe because the fuel supply is secure and not susceptible to voltage reductions or power cuts. Neither are there any worries about the short service life of some electric appliances. Of course, the clean burning characteristics of LPG mean there is no danger of pollution from CO or CO2 in a well maintained system.

As your piglets grow they will flourish in lower ambient temperatures without diverting energy from growth into keeping warm. The controllability of Calor LPG heating is perfect, because it enables you to lower the temperature by a degree or two a day, depending on other factors like flooring and the construction of the accommodation.

At the end of the day, Calor powered heating systems can help you to achieve maximum profitability from your pigs.
