NATURA® Life
Multi-tier aviary system for rearing and egg production
The current egg production standard is to separate the rearing and production phases. The new NATURA® Life concept, which Big Dutchman developed in close collaboration with the owners of a Dutch family farm, provides an option for keeping birds in the same group for their entire lives. No transportation is necessary until the end of the hens’ life cycles. The NATURA® Life concept emphasizes welfare, health, productivity, and sustainability. At the core lies a cage-free laying aviary that can be expanded by additional equipment for rearing.
Important Advantages
- Flexible start – The batch can be started with either hatching eggs or day-old chicks
- Consistent environment – The birds remain in the same environment for their entire lives
- No relocation stress – No moves between rearing and laying houses are necessary, i.e. little stress for the farmer and the flock
- Healthy development – The chicks develop well and quickly
- Hygiene consistency – Uniform hygiene conditions in the house reduce the risk of infections
- Optimized nest access – The nest can be opened at the ideal time to prepare for the laying period, so the hens mislay few eggs
- Smart aviary design – No disadvantages during egg production because of the clever design of the aviary
