Consistent warmth is vital for poultry from Day 1 until they are fully feathered, and remains important for older birds during cold spells. The Poltek 175W Philips Infrared Lamp is a trusted solution. It utilizes infrared incandescent technology: the lamp’s filament glows, producing infrared heat that travels like light, directly warming the birds and their litter. This is unlike non-infrared heaters that only warm the air, making it very efficient. For young poultry, unable to fully regulate their body temperature, this direct, radiant warmth is gentle yet vital. It helps prevent chilling, reduces stress and huddling, and encourages normal feeding and drinking, leading to robust growth and higher survival rates. The warmth also helps keep litter drier. Beyond the initial feathering period, this lamp is excellent for providing supplementary heat during unexpected cold weather to maintain bird comfort and productivity.
