Nest with curtain and mat insert for undisturbed egg laying The nest is positioned in the centre of the compartment and separated from the rest of the compartment by means of a flexible curtain. The hens are thus not disturbed when laying their eggs. The entire feed trough is available to the hens for feed intake, i.e. no valuable feeding space is lost. The length of the individual curtain strips has been selected in such a way that the nest can easily be monitored by the farm staff. Additionally, the strips can be moved, which means that mites are not attracted to this area. In the nest, a...

Scratching area with innovative Wellix litter mat The Wellix insert used in the scratching area is a completely new development and has several innovative advantages: 4 compared to the nest mat, the litter mat is of a lighter colour to prevent confusion with the nest; 4 a wave-like profile keeps the litter longer on the mat; the profile of the mat loses some depth towards the trough so mislaid eggs can roll off more easily; thanks to the serrated profile edge, mislaid eggs have only minimal surface contact, i.e. very low dirt risk; high-quality materials guarantee a long service life; the...

During manure removal, the longitudinal manure belts carry the manure until it is dropped onto the cross belt from all tiers. From there, it can be transported either to a manure drying tunnel or directly onto a transport vehicle. Manure belt scrapers ensure the thorough cleaning of the belts on every tier. The manure chute, made of a plastic tarp and installed in front of the manure belt drive, neatly closes the system in the manure removal area. OptiSec manure drying tunnel Technical data and planning instructions The EV1250/a and EV1500/a system types have the same compartment length of...
