NATURA Nova

Main advantages

• the hens can easily reach the nest, which increases nest acceptance;
• the raised connection aisle helps with daily bird inspection since it provides farm staff with a good overview of the flock;
• the stepped design means that the birds need to make only short jumps so they can easily switch between the functional areas for resting, eating and drinking, and egg laying;
• 100 percent of the house’s floor is scratching area, which means much room to move for the hens;
• the large usable area ensures good utilisation of the house surface;
• the manure belts below the levels collect most of the manure and transport it out of the barn, decreasing the ammonia content in the air and improving hygienic conditions;
• the pullets quickly get used to the aviary after they are moved in because feed and water are easy to find; at the beginning, the system is easily closed off with netting;
• the clever design reduces hotbeds for mites and increases welfare.
