RelaxGo
The automatic colony nest for broiler breeders
The new colony nest RelaxGo from Big Dutchman is ideal for broiler breeders that are kept in day-old-to-death production systems. Using winches, the entire nest row can be automatically lifted up under the ceiling and lowered back down into the litter after the rearing phase. The nest then grows with the litter so the entrance to the nest is always at the optimal height for the birds, thus increasing the hens’ nest acceptance.
There is no need for a manure pit and the corresponding slat level. Gentle and automatic egg transport ensures a high hatching egg quality with minimal effort.
