Alternative systems for layer management are becoming more and more important in Western Europe, and so several different housing systems have now become available on the market. Besides multi-tier aviary systems, there are also poultry systems with manure pits that are fully or partly covered with slats now available on the market. These systems are clearly arranged and very cost-efficient and are therefore suitable for both small and larger flocks.
In the new leaflet "Equipment for Floor Systems for layers in barns and free range egg production" Big Dutchman introduces the most important elements of this type of housing equipment: such as reliable systems for feed and water supply, the right laying nest including an egg collection system, as well as labour-saving manure removal systems. The leaflet supplies detailed descriptions and illustrations of all of these elements. In addition three exemplary concepts show options for possible poultry housing systems.
Conclusion: good housing equipment distinguishes itself because all individual parts are carefully coordinated. This is one of the main requirements for healthy and energetic hens and high laying performance. Furthermore, monitoring and management efforts are reduced significantly.
