Keep trees

[Jeffery Escobar]

There are several aspects to consider for this question, and many valid points have been expressed by contributors. In general, I think it is a good idea to have trees in a farm. However, trees need to be properly cared for and maintain to ensure we get the maximum benefits and minimize risks. Selecting the proper type of trees to plant is extremely important as well as to consider the mature height of the tree, and the size of the canopy, the size and depth of the root system. We want to make sure that trees are not going to interfere with structures above the ground (e.g., buildings, ventilation exhausts, etc.) and under the ground (e.g., pipes, cables, etc.)

Trees can interfere with ventilation in open-sided poultry houses if planted too close to ventilation fans. To avoid this, a generally recommended minimum distance is at least 10 times the diameter of the ventilation fan. For example, if a fan is 1.5 meters in diameter, trees should be planted at least 15 meters away from the fan exhaust. This distance helps prevent blockage of airflow and protects trees from damage by particulates and ammonia emissions from the fans.

Keeping trees in farm is highly beneficial to the farm as follows.

Provide shade for the birds in the pen against drastic heat or intense heat.

Sources of ventilation for the birds in pen house.

Protect pen house against destruction by the winds and torrential storm.

Trees planted above the water tanks serve as cooling agent for water in the tank .

However,trees in the farm can be a breeding site for farm diseases vectors such as waiverbirds, cattle egret,etc.

Trees in the farm if not well managed can serve as blockage for light rays and thus have effects on photoperiod of laying birds in the farm which is counter productive.

Yes, keeping trees on the farm can be very beneficial. They provide natural shade, improve air quality, reduce heat stress in poultry, and even help control erosion and wind. However, they should be well managed to avoid blocking ventilation or attracting predators.

Shed condensation occurs when there’s too much humidity in your garden storage building. Wood and metal sheds, in particular, are affected by this. Timber is naturally porous, meaning it absorbs moisture from the air. Metal is susceptible to rust, especially when moisture builds up on the surfaces.
