Description: Many researchers have spent considerable time establishing limits to place on environmental components to get maximum returns from inputs. While there are other environmental factors which may affect egg production, this discussion will be restricted to air quality factors which affect the environment. These are: (1) moisture content (relative humidity) (2) temperature (3) carbon dioxide content and (4) other gases, primarily ammonia and sulphuretted hydrogens. According to Prosser*1 relative humidities (R.H.) of 45% to 75% are acceptable for most livestock. Cloud b suggests a ma elmum R.H. of 80% for laying houses. Work done by Driggersc indicates that respired moisture from a laying hen makes up only about one third of the total moisture produced. The remaining moisture must be removed from the feces if the litter is to be kept dry. For winter conditions with a house temperature of 50
