The poultry industry is important industry in the field of livestock due to high production efficiency and the speed of rotation of capital project. Broiler faces some technical problems in the housing and the environment. This study was concluded to investigate the effect of broiler house specifications: Orientation (East-West and North-South), dimensions (60 m x 12 m , 50 m x 9.5 m , 76 m x 9.5 m and 84 m x 10 m), roof height (3, 3.5 and 4 m) and ratio of ventilation area (20, 25 and 30 %) on bird production performance indexes (feed consumption rate, bird body weight, feed conversion, bird mortality and production index. The study was conducted on twelve broiler houses during the period from February 2009 to June 2010 in Al-Bayda – Libya. The results recommended the orientation (East-West), the house dimensions of 60 m x 12 m, roof height of 3.5 m and ratio of ventilation area of 30 % were the most suitable to maximum the feed consumption rate, bird body weight and production index with minimize the feed conversion and the bird mortality.
