Ten years ago, we sold him our DACS ventilation system – and a few weeks ago, Niels Dybdahl went back to visit Marc.

Marc van de Thournout runs a hatchery and several PS houses in Pittem, Belgium.

“Ten years down the road, I can honestly say that the DACS ventilation system has never let me down,” Marc begins.

“Because of the unique functionality of the DACS ventilation system, only conditioned air enters the house – and this is a real game changer. It ensures a dry and well-ventilated house, no matter the season.

I’ve never had to make any adjustments, which to me is proof of the system’s superiority.

The ease of operation in my DACS houses takes a huge load off my shoulders. It allows me to focus entirely on the birds when I walk through the house.

I’ve also installed DACS ventilation units in my hatchery – and they work excellently there too.

In the waiting/expedition room, a constant flow of conditioned air passes through the trays, keeping the day-old poults in perfect condition. To me, this also showcases the superiority of the system.

I can highly recommend the ventilation system from DACS,” Marc states.
