Zusammenfassung:Determining ventilation rates in commercial animal buildings has been technically challenging. This study aimed to develop an innovative method and a ventilation model and provide new insights into animal building ventilation. A layer house with 46 fans was studied over six months. A full-size and fast-response portable fan tester was developed for on-site fan ventilation measurement. Results indicated that the house differential pressures (dP) varied from +10.4 to
