Maintaining a good microclimate in the poultry house is one of the most important factors in poultry breeding. It is the quality of the air parameters that ultimately determines the quality of the yield. Poultry keeping requires a lot of effort and technological solutions. Therefore, the study is aimed to improve the microclimate system in the air environment of the poultry house by incorporating exhaust fans on the rear end wall in a non-traditional way. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) with ANSYS Fluent is a powerful tool for predicting the climate system in the poultry house, as an alternative to experimental studies. CFD modelling of the gas-dynamics and heat-mass exchange processes has led to the conclusion that raising the valves to a height of 210 mm from the slab, and changing the spoiler cut-out by 73° allows air to be conveyed to the centre of the poultry house. At the same time, the pressure drop of the supply valves is 47.18 Pa, which makes it possible to fully supply the exhaust fan. The air velocity at the inlet of the supply valves is 9.16 m·sE−1. The average air speed at 0.7 m above the floor level is 0.71 m·sE−1, and the temperature is 14.83 °С. Thus, the research presented can be used to develop new ventilation systems for poultry houses in the future.
