	Big Dutchman’s renowned Champion Chain Feeding System continues to prove itself in installations around the world and provides numerous benefits, including: The feed gate easily adjusts the level of feed in the trough, regulates the amount of feed coming from the hopper maintaining a consistent supply of feed on the chain. The Champion Chain presents feed according to the producer’s management schedule, and feed can easily be increased or decreased. Independent single or dual drives are separate from hoppers, drastically reducing the load on corners and significantly lengthening the life of all components. Champion provides uniform nutrition for every bird. Feed is presented on the top of the flat, smooth chain, helping to eliminate risk of bird injury. Champion yields unequaled feed conversions for significant cost savings.
