Preventative maintenance helps ensure the longevity of equipment in a poultry house. There’re a few things to keep in mind when servicing equipment.

Always disconnect electricity before servicing equipment. Check chain tension regularly, especially when the system is new and being broken in, and adjust the tension accordingly.
