Male and female birds have different feeding lines.
All drinking and feeding lines can be winched up by winch tubes.
Laying nests offer a shielded and comfortable environment for the hens to lay their eggs. The high standard for hygiene and quality ensures first class eggs with high hatchability rates. The slats offer great support to the birds feet and allow manure to fall through on the underlying manure belt. Regular removal of manure improves the air environment and health of animals.
Hinged roof plates allow easy maintenance and cleaning of the system. An important aspect in keeping the nests clean and hygienic. The roof can be opened in two ways which not only allows perfect access to the laying nest but the egg belt can also be easily reached for maintenance and cleaning.
A singe manure belt systems also contributes to a hygiene environment in the house because it allows easy access to the floor underneath the slats. The manure belt is rolled up, so that the floor beneath is exposed for optimal cleaning and hygiene. Manure us being removed out of the house by cross belts.
Hatching eggs are safely transported to the central egg packaging room by the FlexBelt system. This system has special carriers that handle eggs with utmost care. The quality of eggs remains in perfect condition which will have a positive influence on the hatch results.
At the central egg packaging station eggs are being automatically packed by the hatchery packer. This system ensures that the quality of eggs is preserved by handling eggs with utmost care. The system places hatchings eggs in setter trays by making use of special suction cups that have a perfectly point- setting.
Feed hoppers on the ceiling ensure good distribution of feed. All feeding lines will be filled with sufficient feed. Every hopper is being supplied by silo’s.
Mrs and mr. Van Haeren have chosen for an efficient ceiling ventilation system. Outside fresh air is being attracted by air inlets that are located on the ceiling at both sides of the house. Fresh outside air is being distributed over the whole ceiling and supplied to all animals by air inlets located in the roof. The complete house will be provided with sufficient fresh air.
A under pressured room with eight energy-efficient fans is located at the end of the ceiling. A separated space for the removal of used air ensures that clean fresh air is not being mixed up with saturated air.
An air scrubber is not necessary because the manure drying system Compact reduces the emission of ammonia. The manure drying system dries manure very fast and efficient while using minimum energy.
