Improving Day-Old Chicks’ Containers Or Boxes Requirement And Handling For Air Cargo Transportation

Abstract

This project is to investigate what are the main causes of mortality of day old chicks’ onboard the aircraft during flight. Major factors concerning about condition of day old chicks’ onboard will be studied by generating relationship between each factors to see any significant relation which might contributed to the mortality of day old chicks’ onboard the aircraft due to unconducive environment. Based on all the factors identified, a newly proposed container design will be tested to find the optimum packaging requirement for day old chicks’ onboard the aircraft. With the newly proposed design of container it will help to further reduce mortality of day old chicks’ onboard the aircraft by providing even better environment for day old chicks’ by taking into account all major factors that may result in instability of condition due to one or more factors change thus affecting the condition of the environment inside the day old chicks’ container that may then resulting in increase in mortality rate due to unconducive environment. This report will also show how the test will be conducted to understand the air flow inside the cabin that may affect the overall condition of the day old chicks.
