Portion feeding Breeders

Portion feeding for broiler breeders with day hoppers in the barn offers several advantages. It ensures precise and consistent feed distribution, which is essential for the health and growth of the animals. By regulating the amount of feed, overfeeding is prevented, which can lead to obesity and health problems. Additionally, preparing the feed in advance for the next day makes the system less prone to errors, as it gives farmers ample time to verify that the hoppers are adequately filled. Finally, an precise feeding strategy contributes to better reproductive performance and higher quality DOC.

Fast feeding with Day silo’s

Fast feeding from day silos outside the barn,  reduces stress as the animals are fed immediately. This leads to a calmer and healthier flock, ultimately resulting in better reproductive performance and higher quality offspring. Fast feeding from day silos is a simple feeding process that requires less manual oversight. Additionally, the absence of hoppers in the barn can be seen as an advantage since they do not need to be cleaned during downtime.

Fast and registration for Layers

A fast spiral auger offers significant benefits for laying hens. By keeping up with the speed of the feed chain, the spiral auger ensures an even distribution of feed. This prevents some hens from getting more feed than others, which is essential for their health and productivity. An even feed distribution also helps to reduce stress and competition among the hens, leading to a calmer and healthier flock. Moreover, efficient feed distribution can contribute to better egg production and quality, as all hens have equal access to the necessary nutrients. In short, a fast spiral auger optimizes the welfare and performance of laying hens.
