NATURA60 is Big Dutchman’s newly developed type of aviary for layers. The design concept is based on the idea to reduce the management effort and at the same time increase reliable and efficient production. After the hens are moved in, the system remains closed for some time. This procedure allows the hens to get to know their new environment, known as the phase of familiarization. Feed and water can easily be accessed and by using the stairways the hens become accustomed to all levels. A partition installed every 2.41 m (after every section) makes for manageable group sizes of 130 to 150 birds. This ensures evenly used nests right from the start. The farm staff can easily supervise the flock from the inspection After the familiarization phase is over, the system can be fully opened, and the hens are now able to act out their natural behaviors of scratching, picking and dust bathing. Download the brochure for more details and information, or contact your local representative. |
