ReproMatic & FluxxBreeder The feeding system developed specifically for broiler breeders

ReproMatic is a Big Dutchman feeding system which was developed exclusively for broiler breeders and combines chain and pan feeding systems. The birds' uniform physical and sexual development during rearing and a high, long-lasting reproductive capability during the production phase are essential for broiler breeder management. This can only be achieved with restricted feeding of both males and females. Feed must therefore be available in each pan as soon as feeding starts. For this reason, a high-capacity conveying system consisting of an open feed channel with chain is the system of choice....

FluxxBreeder – the feed pan for rearing and production in day Rearing The main aim in rearing is for all hens of a flock to reach laying maturity at the same time. A uniform flock can only develop if all birds have a feeding space of sufficient width to feed simultaneously. Moreover, pans must be filled immediately, at the same time and speed and to the same level. This is necessary so all birds of a flock receive the same amount of feed during restricted feeding. Pullets in the rearing phase – ample freedom of movement because of a raised feed channel Features of FluxxBreeder as used in the...

y-old-to-death or separate rearing and production systems Production Feed channel with chain –> high conveying capacity of 2 t/h –> once the chain starts, every feed pan is filled immediately Adjustment of the feeding window‘s width Adapter for fastening the pan to the feed channel –> easy to assemble and to disassemble Pan is not flooded when suspended –> low feed level in the dish Adjustable width and height of the feeding window –> provides day-old chicks in day-old- to-death production with good access to feed –> ideally suited for all breeds Simple, one-handed adjustment of the feed level...

Separate feeding of males The correct feeding of males is very important for a high fertility rate. Feeding males separately guarantees that all males receive a specified amount of feed. To ensure that all males are provided with a balanced amount of nutrients, it is also possible to use special feed formulas. A conveying pipe with auger (Auger­ Matic) transports the feed to the pans. The feed lines are raised until the hens cannot reach the pans. 4 5-arm grille 4 suitable for 7 to 9 males 4 with sliding shut-off 4 fixed, stable connection to the pipe 4 filled only when the feed line is raised...

Distribution of birds pan - trough Adjustment of the feeding windows' width and height - up to 44 combinations 34 Because the females are positioned in a circle around the pan, this arrangement can feed 60 percent more birds per running metre than a linear trough. With this large number of adjustment options, it is possible to find the right size of feeding window for any breed. 1 drive per circuit for up to 130 m chain length 2 drives per circuit for 200 - 300 m chain length 1 drive per circuit for 130 - 200 m chain length 1 drive per circuit...
