The' data about these houses were obtained by the measuremerits,the sehematie drawings, the surveys and the observations. The following resultswere obtained from this study.ı. Those 43 enterprises were surveyed, 22 of them were only engaged in thepoultry raising and 21 of them had other ageieultural activities alsa.2. Those enterprises were investi.gated, 74,7 %of them was in egg-productionhusiness, B,3 %of them was in broiler produetion, 9,3 %of them İn layign~henbreeding and 2, 7 %ofthem'wasin ehick broodiııg. Laying-hen houses were dif:..ferent iypes; 32,1 %of them was the classical types with roosts, 46,4 %oftbem was~/3 slated floared and 7,2 % of them had sIated floors, caged houses were the?,6 %of the total. Some of houses (10,7 %) had ne roosts or no slated flor.3. The average width of the houses was 7,55 m and the length was 22,78 m.The average floor space per ehieken was 0,225 mı in the classieal types, 0,203 m2i-n 2/3 slated floored types, 0,145 m2 in the eompIetely slated houses, 0,135. m2in the houses without roosts, 0,091 m2 in broiler houses.4. Roosts are riot sufficient in the LO of the classical type houses and theslated floors are not sufficient in the 9 of the 2/3 slated floared houses. .The nests in the hen houses are the ordinary individual type or the group typeand theyare built by the dnder eoncrete bloks, wood, tin plate and the eraftpaper,Excluding the -caged houses and chick brooders, feeders are semi·automaticin the 47 of the houses, the simple-Iong in the 16 of them and semi-automaticIong in the 8 of them. Automatic plastic water fountains aıe used in the 43 of themand semi·automatic waterers in of 28 of them.5. The lighting of the 97,3 %of the houses in artificiaı and natural andsolelynatural in the 2,7 %of them. The ventilation is accomplished naturaııy in the 78,6%of the houses, artificiaUy in the 14,7 %of them, naturalIy and artiffciaJ1y ın the2,7 %of them. There are air-inlets in the 14,7 %of the houses. The ventilation isinsuffieient and the moistute condensed in the rhouse because th!: afr-irilelS arehalf closed during the winter and completely closed in the cold days. The heatconductivities of the walls and roofs are high inı1the most of the houses inv.e.sng~ted.6. The poultry houses are built by the dif~erent materials 52,% by cincle!c'oncreteblocks,18,7 %by bricks, 13,3 %by adobes, ıo,7 % by masonry,2,7 %oybricks and cinder-concrete blocks, 2,6 % by bricks and adobes.The floor is concrele in the 65,3 %of the houses, and the compresşed eartbin the others. The interior side of the walls has plaster in the 78,7 %of the housesand the exterior side of the walls are· plastered in the 66,7 %of them, there is noplaster on the ~al1s in the 12,0 % of them.. / ' ._The roofs of the houses are f1at-type in th 9,3 %, curved-type in the 4%,gable-type in the 56 %, hip-type in the 13,3 %, shbd-type in the 12 %, semi-monitortypein the 5,4 %' Earth, strow, brick·tiles, corrugated plates and asbestos-cemerı.tcorrugated plates are used as a roof covering inaterials.7. The poultry-house plans are preparad. fJir this region and given in.' th.e figurs 1,2,3.
