Broiler breeder management Globally successful concepts for the secure and efﬁcient production of hatching eggs

Broiler breeder rearing Goal: a uniform, healthy and vital ﬂock of pullets Every producer of broiler breeders endeavours to control the weight of their birds, aiming for a uniform ﬂock by the end of rearing so the hens start laying at the same time. A uniform ﬂock can only develop if all birds have feeding spaces of sufﬁcient width for simultaneous feeding. Additionally, the speed of replenishing the feeding system must be designed in such a way that the birds receive feed at the same time. This is a prerequisite for the ﬂock to be able to consume the same quantity of feed when a controlled...

The pullets have to jump onto raised training slats to reach the nipple drinkers, improving their mobility The mobile grader for increased uniformity of young broiler breeders To reach a high level of uniformity during rearing, the young breeders must be weighed and also graded several times in this period. Big Dutchman’s new grading scales Heidy make this task a very straight-forward one. Apart from weighing, the grading process is also incredibly easy to carry out. Heidy grades the young breeders according to three different weight classes (light, medium, heavy) or can select only the...

Lateral position of nest and manure pit A popular concept for broiler breeder houses in Northern and South America as well as Asia is the positioning of the nest and manure pit at both long sides of the house. A drinker line as well as suspended or standing chain feeding or pan feeding lines are installed above the manure pit. Males are fed in the centre of the house on the litter.

FEEDING SYSTEMS FOR MALES AND FEMALES Chain feeding with the Champion feed chain Conveying speed of 36 m/min Big Dutchman introduced the world’s ﬁrst automatic chain feeding system as early as 1938. A new era dawned for the poultry industry. Thanks to its robust and simple principle, this feeding system has proved itself a million times over. The basic concept – feed hopper, drive unit, corner, trough and the Champion feed chain – has remained unchanged. The entire system, however, is continuously being improved and adapted to today’s requirements for modern broiler breeder management. This...

Reference values for the use of chain feeding systems Stocking density (birds/m2): Type of feeding: No. of birds/m trough: cm trough side/bird: Feed demand/bird/day in g: • One circuit should take no longer than 3 to 5 minutes with controlled feeding. View of a broiler breeder house during feeding: suspended chain feeding system • For 36 m/min drives, Big Dutchman recommends a time control. • Every additional corner requires that the maximum chain length be reduced by 12.50 m. • For single-phase motors and for chain feeding in the litter area, the maximum chain length must be reduced by 30...

ReproMatic and FluxxBreeder The pan feeding system for females ReproMatic is a feeding system that combines chain and pan feeding. Developed by Big Dutchman, it is intended exclusively for broiler breeders. An open feed channel with chain is used to convey the feed. The birds feed from the FluxxBreeder feed pan, speciﬁcally developed and equipped with 16 feeding spaces. The integrated volumereducing insert allows the dispensing of small feed quantities so all pans of one circuit can be ﬁlled quickly and simultaneously. Distribution of feed in the FluxxBreeder pan View of a broiler breeder...

Separate male feeding with MaleChain Space-saving, robust and easily accessible Broiler breeders are fed separately according to their sex. This requires a separate feeding system for the males, which is an important prerequisite for high fertility rates and a good chick quality. Only when the males are fed separately from the females can the male breeders be provided with the correct quantities of a specially-formulated feed. MaleChain is a Big Dutchman innovation for which an international patent has been ﬁled. The system consists of an entire chain loop in just one trough. Big Dutchman...

Please note: MaleChain is now also available for hens as FeMaleChain! Having the entire chain loop in a single trough turns this feeding system into a space-saving option for females as well. FeMaleChain: the new feeding system for hens Feed hose: space-saving and convenient Separate male feeding with MalePan With ﬁxed connection to the Augermatic pipe When a pan feeding system is used, a conveying pipe with auger (Augermatic) transports the feed to the pans. The feed lines are raised until the hens cannot reach the pans. 5-arm grille ideal for 5 to 9 males with or without sliding shut-off...

FEED WEIGHING SYSTEMS Controlled feeding is a signiﬁcant factor in broiler breeder management. The birds receive a daily feed ration which optimally meets their needs but also ensures that they do not get too heavy. The feed for both males and females must be weighed very accurately for this reason. Big Dutchman can offer different solutions. FW 99-B feed weigher with day silo Where a day silo is used, the largest daily feed quantity should be considered when planning the silo’s size (approx. 180 g/bird and day). Additionally, the capacities of the FlexVey spirals (0.5 to 4.5 t/h) and of...
